Shadowing session with instructors from AFC Harrogate.
Today was supposed to be navigation training with the recruits, but the plan changed so I went out with three RCI instructors and their groups.
Learnt some new areas at the crag which are good for foot placement work, and also improved my knowledge of dealing with large groups - how we can manage them in terms of numbers, engagement (for varying abilities) and safety.
A useful day.
Area :
Yorkshire Grit
Mostly those crags north of Leeds and the M62 in the Yorkshire Dales, but also the crags in the vicinity of Harrogate and Wetherby. The grit cracks in South Yorkshire close to the Peak District are covered in the Peak District Region, as are those just north of the Peak but south of the M62. Protect the Rock – let this be your mantra. John Dunne and Lucy Creamer cut their teeth here. Tradition is respected but cams and mats come in useful.
