Stob Coire Sgreamhach and Beinn Fhada

A bit of a thaw, but a fine winter walk nonetheless...

The one day navigation course led by John Chivall was excellent. I thoroughly enjoyed the day and it has benefited my navigation skills considerably. I learnt a lot about how to use a map and compass and how to read the land around me. As a result of the course I have led walks that I wouldn't have felt confident enough to do previously.
