NEW - 2-day Winter Skills weekend course
Aviemore, Scotland
With Rob Wymer, Winter and
International Mountain Leader & Buxton Mountain Rescue Team
member
Assisted by Mark Reid
An introduction to Winter Skills for hillwalkers, based at
Aviemore in the stunning Cairngorms, Scotland.
Walking in the British mountains in winter is one of the most
exhilerating outdoor experiences you can have. The Cairngorm National Park
provides the novice winter hillwalker with hills and mountains that are
accessible and achievable, and offers the perfect area to learn and practice
winter skills. That said, the Scottish mountains in winter are potentially
hazardous - having the right equipment coupled with winter hill skills is
essential.
This 2-day course will give you the skills and judgement
needed to become a safe and competent winter hillwalker.

-
Tea/coffee both mornings
-
2 full days' winter mountain skills training with a Winter Mountain
Leader
