You can always learn something...............

​I have been doing some Continuous Personal Development this Spring, both to gain points for my membership of the Mountain Training Association, and to increase and improve my knowledge of all things upland. Very enjoyable and very informative. I have attended -

• Geology in the Pentlands
• Leave No Trace - Minimising the impact of our presence in the hills
• Photography - With specific attention given to the outdoors, and point-and-press which is what I do!
• Interpreting the Mountain and Woodland Environment - Based around Glenmore
  
  

and I am still to do this week -

• Bush-craft
• Gaelic in the mountain environment

 
It is fascinating to spend time with such enthusiastic coaches, and also to share experiences with other mountain practitioners. A great way to spend your down-time, and certainly something I intend to keep up as and when the opportunities arise.
