This popular training event will be returning in 2018 over the weekend of 8-9 September at Plas y Brenin in Snowdonia. It is aimed at the experienced members of affiliated clubs that support less experienced members whilst they gain experience, develop skills, and become competent climbers, walkers and mountaineers in their own right.
The weekend will include theory sessions on the principles of teaching and learning skills in the outdoors, issues around duty of care, insurance implications and good practice all delivered by experts in their field.
The majority of the weekend will consist of practical sessions on the teaching of climbing, hill walking, scrambling and navigation skills.
The course fee includes self-catering, shared accommodation at Plas y Brenin for the weekend, three-course meal on the Saturday evening, all group kit and all instruction.
