We will make a journey looking at managing a group in consequential terrain, coaching movement and looking at how we might manage sections of fixed equipment as well as problem solving when there is no fixed equipment. We will catch the last cable car down at the end of the day around 4.30pm.

On the 18th we will meet at 8am in Grimentz to catch the first bus up to Barrage du Moiry. Then completing a journey from there to Basset de Lona - Lac de Lona area, looking at navigation, micro navigation, environmental ideas (including the geography and geology of the area) and leadership of groups before heading back to Bendolla to catch the last cable car down.
