SUMMARY:Loving Lichens 29-03-2021
DESCRIPTION:Places on this completely outdoors workshop are limited to 5 in accordance with covid guidelines. \nThis 3 hour workshop is aimed at anyone who wanders in the Great Outdoors and would like to find out a little more about the oft overlooked wonders that are lichens. \nWith over 1700 varieties identified in the UK and 18\,000 worldwide these fabulous little organisms really are one of natures most neglected wonder. \nSymbiotic\, ancient\, vital – used as food\, to trace the movement of mountains\, to measure the quality of our air – and found everywhere. Lichens are the dominant species for 8% of the worlds land. \nThe workshop will take the form of a walk through the wonderful little visited valley of Borrowdale nr Shap (5 mins from J38\, M6). We’ll look at different types of lichens\, where they grow\, how to identify them & what they are used for\, now\, by ancient man and down the centuries between. \nI’ll be providing everything you need for the day – you’ll just need to be able to keep yourself warm\, dry and enthusiastic! \n

SUMMARY:Night Nav Ninjas 10-11-20
DESCRIPTION:This workshop is a little different this year – a fun competition\, with fun prizes. \nYou’ll need to be super accurate with your pacing…but\, and you’ll know this having attended the prior sessions\, you’ll also need to be able to utilise other strategies and different skills. \nThis will be a minimum of assessment level navigation – but each leg will have learning lessons involved. \nThe session will be in the East of Cumbria with relatively easy access from the M6 – the final location will be confirmed in the prior week. \nI’m restricting access to this session – so if you’re interested drop me a line first as priority will be given to anyone who has attended a previous Mountain Services Night Navigation Session. \nThis session is free for MTA Members.

SUMMARY:Steep Ground Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Aimed squarely at the mountain leader who never uses a rope\, or those wanting to know how to deal with an emergency on steep ground this half day workshop takes place out on the hill in Langdale – real training in a real area. \nIf you can’t remember your knots and emergency abseiling seems impossible – if you’ve no confidence in a rope or want to have more then this workshop is the one for you. \nIt’s always best to practice with your own kit – but we can supply everything (other than your normal hill kit) that you’ll need on the day.
