This winter the Chris Walker trust will once again be sponsoring a number of avalanche training days in Scotland, for leaders with a minimum of MIC trainee or full MIC. Higher awards are also covered. Various association AMI priority for bookings for some award levels will appear on the respective CMS areas, especially as AMI have kindly donated £1000 over the next two winters. However there is also a waiting list for all days and if you find a course is full, please contact Alan Kimber on 01397 700451 or 07909905664 or alanwkimber@gmail.com . Please state qualifications and training completed when you apply. There is a £10 fee which will enable the Trust to continue running avalanche workshops for many years. All proceeds go to the trust. This is a one day courses for up to eight people, run by Sport Scotland Avalanche Information Service, which count as CPD and offer valuable training to those of you who spend a considerable amount of time in the UK on snow covered terrain in your work as a professional mountaineer. The idea is to get the message out via leaders/instructors/guides, so that they in turn can educate their own guests in current best practice. This is a great opportunity to share CPD with other UK mountain professionals so please book early to avoid disappointment. To be added onto a waiting list please contact Alan Kimber on alanwkimber@gmail.com or 07909905664.
