Been working down in Cornwall this week on the Outdoor Instructor Course that I'm involved with.
On Monday we had our first climbing session at Roche Rock looking at the basics such as belaying and tieing in.
Tuesday saw us at Trewavas Head, a lucky day with the weather as we just about stayed dry and we did plenty of climbing and belaying and began to look at how to rig some set ups.
We had an intro to navigation session on Wednesday before heading out to Bodmin Moor for an overnight exercise which continued into Thursday. Thursday was spent looking at micro nav as we work towards the students doing their Mountain Leader or Walking Group Leader training.
Hovis joined me in the tent to keep me company on the overnighter. Nothing like a dog trying to share your sleeping bag!
