About
The 2018 Plas Y Brenin Environment Symposium for Mountain Leaders and Mountaineering Instructors will revolve around the theme: 'Be Inspired'. Following feedback from the 2016 Symposium we are going to dedicate the whole two day event to inspiring you about different aspects of the mountain environment and run outdoor workshops aimed at helping you to inspire the people you lead and instruct.
This two day workshop is eligible for 2 full CPD points wit the Mountain Training Association, the Association of Mountaineering Instructors, the Association of British International Mountain Leaders and the British Association of Mountain Guides.
Whilst aimed at those leading and instructing in the British hills and mountains this workshop is open to anyone with an interest in gaining more knowledge about the mountain environment and ways of inspiring others to appreciate and understand it more.
Lunch is included on both days for our non-residential customers as well as Plas y Brenin's famous cakes.
