The MCofS in partnership with Richard Bentley from Mountain Motion are offering club members the opportunity to participate in a Summer Mountain Leader Training Course based from the Loch Lomond Outdoor Centre at a special discounted rate. The cost of the course is £280. The training course is run on a 1:6 ratio and there are a maximum of 12 places available.
This price includes food and accommodation and six days instruction. This SMLTB award is for members who wish to lead hill-walking parties in mountainous terrain in summer conditions. A commitment will need to be shown towards using the training to benefit other club members. A two day overnight camping expedition is part of this course.
