Description

Night Navigation
Tonight I went along with my partner Debbie who was completing the poor-vis section of her HML training course with Will Kilner.
As I know Will it was a good chance to catch up with him, but also it was in an area that I've not been to before, so as Debbie took the lead in the navigation, I was also testing myself which was a good opportunity for reflection of not only my nav skills, but also how to teach using this area.
We were using the area around the Berwyns just outside of Hay on Wye. A really great landscape for training, especially in darkness.
A really good CPD opportunity I feel.

Area : Black Mountains

The Black Mountains (Welsh: Y Mynyddoedd Duon) are a group of hills spread across parts of Powys and Monmouthshire in southeast Wales, and extending across the national border into Herefordshire, England. They are the easternmost of the four ranges of hills that comprise the Brecon Beacons National Park, and are frequently confused with the westernmost, which is known as the Black Mountain. To confuse matters further, there is a peak in the Black Mountains called Black Mountain.
