A very good set of sessions today from the candidates, each brining their prior experience and knowledge to the fore and all enjoyed the sunshine after the last few days of cold and wind.

NNAS assessment for Lower 6th
Depleted numbers today due to illness and injury, but the three students performed very well in the conditions. Well done
Off into the mist
It was even sunny a little bit
Re-folding the map having caught it with a rugby-style leap
We met some of the army
Then it snowed...
...quite a lot...
...and was windy...
...then snowed, was windy and sunny at the same time

Rigging practice at Bonehill Rocks
Largely clear skies greeted us at Bonehill Rocks today,
We looked at placing boulder mats,
then spotting people while bouldering
We then looked at rigging top ropes
People came up with good systems
and were glad about it
Then we made some more
and then more again
before 'doing it for real' at the edge of the crag and dropping a rope down.
