Navigating by compass in the mist across a featureless shoulder, peat groughs and patches of sheet ice meant a straight line was impossible.

I've been playing this game for 40-something years, professionally since 2010, but when the mist thinned and my target ridge appeared dead ahead, it's still a wow! moment.

Still got it haha. 🗻

Been a bit quiet on here this week. Back at work on a Summer Mountain Leader Assessment working for @GrahamUney. It's been some week! Wind, rain, bog, chilly nights, and then of course the Aurora which we watched with awe from last night's high camp. Huge congratulations to all six candidates who earned themselves well deserved passes. 🏅

Last year we had a bumper year for candidates doing their Hill and Moorland Leader training and/or assessment with us, and this year got off to a flying start too! There are more courses open for booking at the moment, and once Faye Rutter has been authorised by Mountain Training to Course Direct for us we'll be adding even more!

Yey! Three more brand spanking new Lowland Leaders are amongst us. All three candidates went home with Passes and big grins. Well done to Steve, Ben and Christian.

So many people say they have wondered about becoming a Mountain Leader, but don't know where to start, or what to expect.

If that sounds like you, we've put together a day in the fells, especially for you.
