End of course thoughts

I'd feel comfortable walking in winter conditions, but still need to improve navigation skills

Need to get a better grip on (by teaching myself):
Basics of navigation - need to carry a compass and actually use it, including measuring distance
My own pace - how many steps in 100m etc
Weather systems
Avalanche predictions
Basically all the stuff that I've read previously but never really taken much notice of or tried to use in action

The rope work was great fun, but I don't know enough to actually put this into practice. I think some more summer outdoor climbing is the way to go here. And then some lead climbing. I've then got all the pieces in place to do some outdoor climbing myself. I need to get a partner though....

Things to plan for:
March - Day in Lakes
March - Day in Lakes/Wales with Steve
April - Tryfan scramble with Steve/Andy
May - Walk-Camp-Walk with boys
Skye - May
June - Scottish wild camp weekend
July - Scrambling
August - Scrambling
Sept - Scottish hostel
Jan/Feb/Mar - Scottish Winter Mountaineering weekend
