Ultimate Mountain Flapjack out on the crag

Hill and Mountain Flapjack

Alex
2 months ago

Hill and Mountain Flapjack There are certain well established cliches in the outdoor world: a camper will have a mug (or frying pan!) hanging off their rucksack. A walker shall have a flask. Another is that outdoor people ie walkers, mountaineers, climbers and campers shall eat flapjack. Yes it’s definitely a clique but that’s not…

Buffalo Mountain Shirt Review As a keen outdoors person, I love being out and about in all weathers, in the UK and beyond. The downside of this is layer management. Either you are too warm going up, or you are continually changing layers with weather and lunch breaks. If only there was something that could…

Aspirant Mountain Leaders rounding off their train Aspirant Mountain Leaders rounding off their training course with the expedition, where they spent a night camping in the mountains and hone their night navigation and camp craft. 

The expedition can be the most enriching and rewarding element of your Mountain Leader training and assessment. 

It’s certainly the main event and there’s no denying that your bag will be heavier, you will probably feel tired and you will probably be obliged to emerge from your tent in the night for poor visibility navigation. 

On the flip side, it’s an incredible learning experience in managing yourself, your well-being in what can often be quite challenging conditions. It’s an opportunity to refine your camp craft, sort all your systems, and have a good old nosey at other people’s tents, stoves and camp cuisine. We learn through challenge after all! 

For some the ML training is a step in their journey to a career outdoors, for others it’s an opportunity to learn to look after themselves and friends/family in the mountain environment. Whatever your motivation, you can learn more about the award and courses on our website.
