Great for those who dont want to give up a full week, and a chance to consolidate knowledge and skills between the two weekends.
Course Director... Andy Brown WMCI & IML
I have been running split weekend courses for 43 years.
My long experience delivering mountain training courses makes it easy for me to innovate and vary delivery to meet individual candidates needs.
We run this course on a non residential basis i.e. people sort their own accommodation 'weekend 1'. That allows people to make their own choices of where to stay. We arrange a proper campsite 'weekend 2' on the Friday and we are on expedition wild camping on the Saturday.
The course commences indoors at the Braithwaite Village Institute just outside Keswick on the Friday 7th June at 10 am.
