- We started as individuals, but were a tight team by the end of the week.
This video covers the first 3 days, part 2 covers the 3 day mountain expedition. I would highly recommend it, even if you dont want to lead others, it will measure your mountain walking skills and knowledge.
We attended Mountain Leader Training by Chris Ensoll. This will be followed later by a 5 day assessment to become qualified as an ML.

Hi Dave hope you're well. I was just woundering if you might be able to help with a question? I'm using Harvey maps and wanted to know if there is a way to mark out a route on the maps without it being indelible but still some what waterproof?
I have seen people do this with laminated maps, anyway love your videoes thanks
Hi, just use permanent marker and it wipes off with meths. Cheers
