Peak District Climbing And Navigation Courses

Over the past few days I have been working over in the peak district for a mate of mine John Bale who had unfortunately had a car accident and was unable to work. The first course over the weekend was an introduction to climbing course where we spent the first day at Birbridge North where we spent our time top roping a number of routes followed by a day on Stanage Edge where the team seconded me up a number of Stanage Classic climbs. The second of the courses I ran was a Bronze NNAS which is a 2 day introduction to navigation award where the team were trained and assessed by myself over the 2 days. The first day was spent looking at introducing the skills needed to navigate a simple section of terrain with the second day putting this into practice with less input from myself. What a fantastic 4 days in the peak blessed with sunshine every day
