Mountain Skills 2 (MS2) Training
Mountain Skills 2 is a practical two-day training course that builds on the navigation and mountain skills developed during Mountain Skills 1.
The course develops your ability to navigate confidently in more demanding mountain terrain and in poor visibility.
Over the two days we work on compass navigation, bearings, relocation, route planning, navigation using contour detail, movement through steeper and broken terrain, poor-visibility navigation, night navigation, emergency procedures and mountain decision-making.
Day 1 is based in the Knockmealdown Mountains and includes navigation after dark. Day 2 takes place in the Galtee Mountains.
Mountain Skills 1, or equivalent navigation experience, is recommended before attending Mountain Skills 2.
Maximum group size: 6 participants.

If Beyond the Glass Adventure Tours has to cancel the course, you will be offered either a full refund or a suitable alternative course date.
