The final day of summer season 2024 🙌🏻😍 and what a summer it’s been!

I was back out doing the last group event for introduction to navigation today and it was lovely to see returning clients Sharon & Lori and meet new clients Lesley & Michelle 😎 a huge well done to you all. Sadly two couldn’t make the event.

After a morning of map chat and nav games we headed onto the campsie fells. Step by step introducing the girls to timings, distance and pacing and bearings.

For once we had perfect low visibility to practice our nav legs, but not long after the clouds cleared and gave blue skies… a first in over two weeks! Throughout the day we covered lots of 6 figure grid references , relocation methods and practices our navigation legs and walking on a bearing.

It was great to see everyone progress as the day went on. Some great skills shown and now down to lost of practice to keep on top of these new skills 🧭🗺️

A brilliant day with a lovely group. Thanks for joining me 😁 a huge thanks to Killearn Village Hall for allowing me to use one of their meeting rooms throughout the year too ❤️

Introduction to navigation today 😄

It was great to see returning client Mandy and meet new clients Gareth & Adrienne. Well done to you all it was lovely to have spent the day with you all and thanks for joining me.

After a morning inside having some map chat and some fun nav games we headed outside for the remainder of the day.
Step by step we worked through each stage . After setting the map we worked on our first nav leg, working out timings and distance whilst describing the route ahead to our destination. As we continued our nav legs I brought in a bearing to confirm direction of travel.

Once off path and on the hillside the group started walking on a bearing to get us to each point, using timings, distance and practicing pacing too.
It was great to see everyone progress throughout the day.

We covered relocating and lots of 6 figure grid references. A day packed full of lots of information and skills…. Now down to lots of practicing 😄🧭⛰️

Above the clouds on Beinn Mhanach 😍

With settled and warm conditions this weekend and no sign of winter we decided to head out and grab a cheeky Munro, the last one of the Bridge of Orchy lot to tick off for Julie & Molly 🙌🏻

As always it’s great to spend a day hiking with this pair and this morning we opted for a bike in to cover most of the distance 🚲 the 9 odd river crossings were no problem and the girls came prepared with their boot covers to keep their feet dry.

Once we reached the foot of Beinn Mhanach we set off on foot for a steep 450m pull up to the bealach. As we gained height that familiar feeling of the suns warmth and some blue sky above🙌🏻 who doesn’t love an inversion!!

We headed up to the summit and enjoyed a good break, the heat in the sun was warm and felt just like a summers day! We were in no rush to head off.

The girls surprised me with cake on the summit for my birthday last week 🎂 so cute! Thank you 🥰 after taking the the views we decided to head off and take a walk upto the Munro Top, Beinn a Chuirn first before dropping back down into the Glen. Back at the bikes and time for a quick cycle back out.

Huge well done to you both girls and thanks for a brilliant day ⛰️❤️🙌🏻
