A mixed (happy) bag

A collection of not my pics, but a collection that I want to record and that has meaning to me. 
The first of our leaders to go for a higher walking qualification, out for the last three days in tough conditions in Snowdonia, being assessed by one of the best instructors in the UK, a former head of the National Mountain Centre, someone I'm lucky enough to call a friend. 

One strong pass, one technical deferral (injury) and one just needs to repeat a day. Feels like the right result having spent a lot of time with them.
As with all good assessments the candidates knew themselves where they were at and what the right outcomes were before H sat them down, so lots of happiness and acceptance.

S, who passed with flying colours, was in the first ever cohort of volunteers, back when Wellness Walks was just an idea, to this feels like a fantastic validation.
