WINTER NAVIGATION

 

Chris on map and compass 

Sunday 29th March

Day 2 on Chris and Erica's Winter skills course this weekend.  It was a much nicer day today, dry, high cloud and low winds.

Indoor planning with coffee

Today's theme was navigation,  the No. 1 'skill' in winter and summer. We roamed around on pathless and featureless terrain using only map and compass skills. Enroute we saw several Ptarmigan which was lovely.

Featureless terrain 

Good snow cover above 1000m

It was cooler today so the lower temperatures are consolidating the remaining snow cover.


Ptarmigan,  we only had mobile phones

A top couple of days.
