This mountain expedition preparation course will involve a two day ‘mini’ expedition through the North Wales hills with one night wild camping. The emphasis of the expedition preparation course is on gaining the broad range of knowledge and skills involved with going on a mountain expedition, it is NOT a fitness boot-camp! On the second day we will simulate an expedition summit day. This will involve getting up in the dark and walking to a summit for sunrise. It is a great opportunity to learn through experience and fine tune everything for that all important day.
