Review
By Mr Graham Uney
I wonder if the sub-title of this technical skills handbook might put off some potential purchasers. I really do hope not. This, the third edition of the handbook for all candidates working through
Lowland Leader,
Hill and Moorland Leader, and
Mountain Leader courses is quite simply an absolute must for ALL walkers, not just those preparing for a Mountain Training Assessment.
There are loads of helpful tips inside, and the book relies heavily on the use of good, common-sense advice backed up by easy to understand photographs and diagrams.
