Description

Day 4 of the DofE practice supporting two groups. Both groups largely unassisted at this point. The route was more challenging with paths being much less defined so some good learnings for them. Interventions were required to stop on group going off a cliff, so we worked through the advantage of height for planning routes down. We also looked at movement on steep ground, how to avoid it arising in the first place. The groups were divided and with some drop outs we had to reconstitute teams. This required a bit of coaching to get them to reform teams.

Area : Snowdon Massif

Snowdon (Welsh: Yr Wyddfa) is the highest mountain in Wales, at an altitude of 1,085 metres (3,560 ft) above sea level, and the highest point in the British Isles outside Scotland. It is located in Snowdonia National Park (Parc Cenedlaethol Eryri) in Gwynedd, and has been described as "the busiest mountain in Britain". It is designated as a national nature reserve for its rare flora and fauna.
