Navigation training day

Here you see a group of our leaders and backups practising their navigational skills. We had the morning indoors and the afternoon outside, near Walltown Quarry. Harry had a list of exercises for us to do, to test the skills we learned in the morning.

It poured. It was windy. Conditions were tricky, but I guess that is when you are most likely to need these skills. Ideally, you would learn them in good weather, gain confidence, and the be able to put them into practice on a wet, cold, misty day.

I love the intensity on the faces of the people in my image. It makes your brain hurt while you try to learn all this stuff!!

Hot bath, then cooked cod in white sauce with new potatoes and green beans. About to do the dessert now, after a sensible gap for digestion!
