NAVIGATION, CAIRNGORMS

 

Navigation on pathless terrain 

Phil out on day 2 of his Navigation Course with Tarmachan Mountaineering. 

With lighter winds we headed up higher and onto the Sgorans above beautiful Glenfeshie. I was hoping for some cloud to make things realistic but it was a clear day. These hills are still a Navigation challenge with plenty of pathless ground and featureless terrain. More compass work, contour interpretation,  pacing and timing.

Windy but bearable 

Tops cleared 

Autumn colours 

Some beautiful sunshine today and Autumn colours glorious.

Sgor Gaoithe 

More pathless Navigation 

It's all in the details 

A great couple of days and Phil is keen to come out this winter on a course and on one of my Alpine treks. There was no arm twisting required 😀.
