South of the border


Recently I was down in Wales for a 10 day stretch, with a quick stop via the Peak District. The main aim of the trip was to undertake the 9 day training course for the Mountaineering Instructor Award. It was a jam-packed course with hardly time to draw breath; a fantastic amount learnt. This award is the highest mountaineering award for summer conditions in the UK, and deals with taking clients scrambling and multi-pitch climbing on our fantastic mountain crags. Looking forward to the consolidation period now when I need to practice all the skills I have learnt prior to assessment.
