27th-28th June: Silver NNAS, Lakes



Sweltering heat made life quite tough this weekend. 

Day one took us eventually up to the Old Man of Coniston after feeling our way around the top of levers water up to Swirl How with a contour only map!

A difficult descent was made all the better with a cold drink in the Black Bull in Coniston!

Day two, we made our way to Tilberthwaite where the group had planned their route for the day. Nobody else in sight!

Feedback:

Very enjoyable, practical approach and tailored to the attendees.

Great weekend on the silver course learning new skill and reinforcing self learn skills in a relaxed atmosphere. Guy's patient, taking time to clearly explain various map reading/navigation techniques and we all had a good time while we where doing it. Well recommended. Have already booked on the Gold course.

Very intuitive, building on skills learnt on the bronze course. I was fortunate enough to stay on in the Lakes for a couple of days to consolidate the training. I left the Pictorial Guides in the car and used my new skills very effectively. Guy has an excellent manner and I can thoroughly recommend the course
