Sometimes a wee trip to the Cairngorms is worthwhile. While the rain fell heavily on Lochaber this morning we drove over to the Northern Coires for some winter cragging on the Mess of Pottage. I am hanging out with the BMG Winter Training Course this week and it was great to see the trainee guides in action. Having been qualified for 13 years now I want to check that what I do now and the things I think about are in line with what other guides do and think. So following the BMG training course is a great way to do this and I get to be guided up a lot of fun routes as well!
