Mountain Safety Course - Saturday 19th November




As a reminder, Introduction to Mountain Safety day is taking place this Saturday.

It will take place in the Alford Community Centre, where we run the fitness training.

Alford Community Campus
Greystone Road
Alford
Aberdeenshire
AB33 8TY

The day will run from 10am until 4 pm and the costs are as per below.

· Adult Member £30
· Child Member £20
· Adult non-Member £35
· Child non-Member £25

If you have a transceiver, then please bring it along, for practice. It would also be useful to bring along probes and shovels, of you have them too.

The course will include a practical examination of safety kit and different types of touring kit, transceiver practice, single and multiple burial scenarios intro to the SAIS web site and how it works, route planning and line choice.

Let ’s hope for nice weather too, but as some exercises will be run outdoors, please bring waterproofs. I’m sure the Community Centre has vending machine, but best to come prepared with lunches etc.
