Last Tues to Thurs I was with Rob on his Winter Expedition Training. We had excellent conditions day 1, but rather less than excellent days 2 and 3, so after a really enjoyable camp high in Stob Coire nan Lochan where we practised lots of skills, we packed up and headed down for the valley. Our last day was spent on micro navigation before Rob had to get off to get his flight home, to a rather warmer Dubai!
Well done to Rob for hauling a large load up some steep terrain, and for keeping smiling as his boots let him down on the descent - Beware being sold fandango posh new boots that whilst being great for Ueli Steck, are no good for Scottish winter with big packs on!
