A one day introduction for those wishing to extend their walking into the winter season in North Wales the Lakes or Scotland. Primarily it is about learning to use an axe and crampons. Starting with making sound judgements about route choice and terrain, movement skills and effective boot placement before moving onto using the axe to aid safe travel, crampon techniques on steeper ground and finally using the axe for self arrest should the rest of those skills fail.

Prerequisites: Participants must have summer walking experience
