Snowdonia - Mountain Skills Course - 2 day course
Advertisement
Mountain Lynx Adventures are delighted to offer the following Mountain Training Approved Course
Mountain Skills Course
Course Outline:
A Mountain Skills course will start with an opportunity to meet the other people on the course and take part in a short planning session with the course tutor. After that you will be out in the mountains, moving away from marked paths and into steeper, rockier terrain in order to learn about the differences in weather, navigation and managing risk in the mountain environment.
The physical effort required on these days will be more demanding than the Hill Skills course and you can expect to be out in the mountains for between 5-6 hours. Day 1 will be an extended day so that we can either walk into darkness or have an additional teaching session on other elements of the course syllabus.
Location – The Ogwen Valley area of Snowdonia will be the base for the weekend.
Cost - £145pp
This 2 day course will cover:-
Planning
How to successfully plan a walk in the mountains in the UK or Ireland.
Walking skills
What things should you consider while out walking and what can make life easier (pace, nutrition, movement skills, steep ground etc.).
Clothing and equipment
Being suitably dressed and equipped can make the difference between a great day out and a complete disaster.
Weather
How it affects the mountains and your day out.
Navigation in the mountains
Everything from selecting a compass and using a map to navigation in poor visibility and an intro to GPS.
Environmental knowledge
How to minimise your impact on the hill, information on good practice and useful organisations.
Hazards and emergency procedures in the mountains
How to respond to any hazards you encounter and what to do in an emergency.
** Courses require a minimum of 3 bookings before running **
Mountain Skills course benefits:
15% off at Cotswold Outdoor and Snow+Rock.
A Digital copy of the Safety on Mountains book.
A navigational timing card.
A certificate of attendance.
Lifetime use of the Mountain Training digital logbook (DLOG) for recording your walks
