点评:Just back from an amazing winter skills course run by Hayley with Gemma and it was brilliant!
We covered everything you could want from a winter skills course - what kit you actually need, layering for cold conditions, the best food to take, using crampons with confidence, map reading, and even how to understand winter weather forecasts and avalanche forecasts.
Conditions on the hills were full on Scottish winter - strong winds, snow, icy terrain but I felt completely safe the whole time thanks to how calm, friendly and incredibly knowledgeable the instructors were.
I knew a few people on the course beforehand but not everyone - the whole group got on so well. Lots of laughs, great teamwork and just a really fun, supportive atmosphere all weekend.
The accomodation was fantastic, perfect after being out in the snow and the meals and tray bakes cooked by Hayley were amazing!
If you're looking to build confidence in winter conditions, learn new skills, or just have an epic weekend in the hills, I can't recommend this course enough. Already excited for the next adventure!
翻译:刚参加完Hayley和Gemma组织的精彩冬季技能课程,真是太棒了!
课程涵盖了冬季技能课程的方方面面——你需要哪些装备、如何在寒冷环境下穿衣、最佳食物选择、如何自信地使用冰爪、如何阅读地图,甚至还包括如何解读冬季天气预报和雪崩预报。
山上的环境完全是典型的苏格兰冬季——强风、积雪、冰面,但由于教练们沉着冷静、热情友好且知识渊博,我全程都感到非常安全。
我之前认识一些学员,但不是所有人——整个小组相处得非常融洽。整个周末都充满了欢声笑语、出色的团队合作和轻松愉快的氛围。
住宿条件非常棒,在雪地里待了一整天后,这里简直是完美的休息场所。Hayley做的饭菜和烤盘点心也美味极了!
如果你想增强冬季骑行的信心,学习新技能,或者只是想在山里度过一个精彩的周末,我强烈推荐这门课程。我已经开始期待下一次冒险了!
