Since Wednesday morning I have been out in the hills running the expedition part of a Mountain Leader Assessment for Roxcool . A lovely route with camps at Angle Tarn and Red Tarn with lots of mountains in between. Bowfell, Esk Pike and Crinkle Crags to name a few 2 days of excellent weather if a little windy followed by wetter weather for our walk out this morning. Good efforts put in by all candidates over the last week.

Today, on the third day of the Mountain Leader Training course we were out looking at managing a group on steep ground including coaching, spotting, confidence roping, belaying and abseiling around Scout Crag. Awesome weather again with just enough of a chill to remind us it was Autumn Working for Roxcool . This is my last day with the training candidates as I am out on the assessment expedition from tomorrow.

What a day in the hills. Cold but clear working on Day 2 of a Mountain Training Mountain Leader Training course for Roxcool in The Lake District Navigation, Environment, Leadership and an evenings session on tying knots ready for tomorrow. Sometimes the weather just delivers!
