Went and forgot my camera again, packed it for tomorrows climbing already so wont forget it then.
The Navigation training went well everyone picked up the concepts really quickly especially orientating the map whenever you can so you can easily tell where you want to go.
We went ahead and even got to bearings and orientating the map which everyone excelled at, next time we will be going on to pacings, reading contour lines, more catching features, off bearings and dead reckoning.
Everyone was really happy with what they have learned today and are looking forwards to putting their newly found skills into practice during our next trip to Ben Vane.
Here is the presentation used if anyone would like a look.

This blog contains the adventures of the Glasgow Caledonian University Mountaineering Club (GCUMC) and what we plan to do over the next few weeks. We go Climbing every week during university term time and every 2 weeks for Mountaineering Trips. At the end of each trip there will be a trip review alongside the photos taken on the trip.
