Navigation and Ropework Training..

I was out on Kinder Scout today with Kirsty and Hugh who were keen for a days navigation and rope work training.

Both were keen to improve their hill skills to potentially join Edale Mountain Rescue Team at a later stage.  We spent the day practicing accurate navigation combined with some basic rope skills essential for the individual rescuer.

Finally, we had a quick descent back to Edale in a prolonged and particularly savage thunderstorm.  It wasn't a good time to be on the plateau..
