High wind and heavy rain forecast put a dampener on our most recent hiking plans. However, al was not lost, as we took the opportunity to support participants with preparing for a hike in the hill. Mountain Leader David walked our group through the process of pre, during and post walking, covering topics such as nutrition, equipment, navigation and emergencies. This small taster supported our group to feel more confident and empowered to accessing the outdoors in Scotland, and we look forward to building on this knowledge together in theory and in practise over the coming months.
