 These
two day courses are designed to help people who are considering
visiting Scotland in the winter months to understand better
the equipment; skills and experience required to move more
confidently over snow and ice covered mountains. The programme
will include practical advice on choosing and using clothing
and equipment for winter activities. Poor weather navigation
and survival techniques will be included along with a possible
visit to the Ben Nevis plateau in order to gain first hand
knowledge of the safest routes of ascent and descent. Snow
and ice skills will be covered if conditions allow. An evening
talk on winter mountain safety is part of the programme.
The courses are weekends, but it will be possible
to re-arrange dates for groups of people wishing to attend
outside of these times. The course ratio will be one instructor
to eight course members.
