SUMMARY:Winter Hill Walking Permit Training or Assessment
DESCRIPTION:To take young scout members out into Terrain 1 or 2 when there is ice or snow on the ground or in the forecast\, you need a winter hill walking permit. So\, if you might like to take your Explorers walking on Shining Tor with a bit of snow on the ground\, this is the course for you. We teach and assess in the wilds of Scotland so we can get a good chance of snow\, but this course is essential if you would like a winter permit for England and Wales.\n\n\n\nMore information and booking via this link: \nhttps://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/1015957745967?aff=oddtdtcreator
