This weekend is for any leaders requiring training for a Terrain 1 or Terrain 2 Adventurous Activity Permit. Including navigation, group management, risk assessment, weather and emergency procedures. Assessment for T1 (only due to terrain) will also be available.
Ideal for any leaders considering taking young people to Lochearnhead.
 
Training and assessment for climbing is also available.
