Mountain Marathons

Tonight we took a look at basic mountain navigation, specifically some route choices in recent Rab and OMM mountain marathons and using Anquet to analyse routes.

Also looked at different ways to navigate accurately using a compass.

Finally we re-lived OMM 2008 - see here. Could you cope with such severe weather?

Fitness Training and Exploring

Big welcome to Craig and Paddy tonight.  We did a group run/walk into the adjacent park and beside the lake using our observation skills to spot some of the permanent course control markers.  Afterwards we spent a short time on the outdoor gym equipment then explored the centre.
