"I feel I greatly benefitted from this week; it
was good to learn how to navigate only using
map craft and feature recognition. Overall it
was a very beneficial week and I would recommend anyone to take up mountaineering
as you pick up some essential skills."
Pte Dean Long
"I learned a lot during this skills week; everything from navigation skills to what equipment to wear. I also learnt about dealing with
the various dangers of mountaineering in Ireland. For example, how to safely cross boulder
fields on steep ground, how to protect myself,
and how poor planning can lead to serious accidents. All-in-all I really enjoyed the week."
