WINTER PRPARATION DAYS IN NOVEMBER



This is a new one day course this season. Running in November when the weather is starting to turn but not quite full on winter conditions. This time of year can be a real shock to the system with much shorter days, weather more severe and usually much colder. Through out the day we will run through the basics of preparing for a day out in the Scottish or indeed any hills in he UK at the start of a winter season. 

 

Course outline:

 

  • Packing the rucksack and equipment choice.
  • Looking at weather forecasts.
  • Route choice
  • 'Looking after yourself' on the hill and good pacing for the day.
  • Navigation
