Navigation for hill runners12-13 March 2016While Richard was leading a group up the snowy mountains of Glencoe, Steven was navigating with a group of hill runners over the Pentlands... ![]() The group gathered for our morning based session in the 'classroom' - the cosy meeting room on the top floor. There were 8 people in the group, all keen to learn and get outside. So we went through the basics in the morning, cramming in lots of stuff and pouring over maps. After aiming downstairs for a break in Apres Cafe, it was outside for the practical stuff on the hills. Some folk didn't have appropriate compasses, so having Craigdon Mountain Sports on the ground floor proved handy ! ![]() The group aimed home (hopefully chuffed with what was learnt) and I headed in the opposite direction to lay the flags for tomorrow's mock Mountain Marathon. A glorious evening, I jogged around the course (still slightly injured in the calf), some of the flags might be devilously tricky to find ! ![]() I think everyone enjoyed themselves and learned loads. Some of the guys are booked into this year's Highlander Mountain Marathon, so I'm hoping this weekend has really benefitted them. Some more photos are up on Flickr.
