Navigation & Hill Skills Course





This weekend I have been running a Navigation & Hill Skills course here in Snowdonia with Natasha and Carl. Yesterday we headed up into Cwm Tregallan on the side of Snowdon and looked at micro navigation skills. Today in fairly wild weather we headed into Cwm Eigiau in the North of the Carneddau. The weather forecast predicted 80mph gusts on a South Westerly with blizzard conditions on the summits. There was a scattering of snow over about 950m and the wind was so strong that it blew me over at one point! More food required! We had a great day despite the weather and put all of our new skills into practice on a mountain journey and learnt some new ones along the way.

Great two days, lots of fun and some truly awesome weather today. Rob's flying was a highlight, he should specialise ;)
