Navigation & Hill Skills Course


I have been joined for two days by Peter, Lorraine, Paul, Ade, Jim and Julian for a navigation and hill skills course. I also had Steve and John observing the course as preparation for forthcoming ML assessments. The weather this morning felt like armageddon with torrential rain and storm force winds just in the valleys making driving difficult! We spent a little longer than normal looking at maps and weather charts indoors and extended the day to make the most of the afternoon sunshine. The wind gradually dropped and we were reasonably sheltered in Cwm Tregallan on the Watkin Path of Snowdon looking at micro navigation skills. A wild day of contrast and with some beautiful colours as the afternoon sun lit up the mountains and heavily swollen rivers.
