The course ran from 11 - 16 February 2001 at the Loch Eil Outward Bound Centre near Fort William.
There were ten participants (9 men and 1 woman) with varying backgrounds, all intent on learning how to travel safely in mountainous terrain in winter conditions. Four were from Guernsey - Stephen Mauger, John Jeyes, Pierre Goubert and myself.
As well as days spent in the mountain, there were also evening lectures on navigation, avalanche awareness and weather.

Day 4 - Navigation exercise in the Cairn Gorms

Many thanks must be said to the instructors from the Outward Bound Trust, who put up with us all for the five day course: Gary Bartlett, Kevin Rutherford, Doug Drysdale and Alison Kane.
