Conville Courses
The Conville Trust are again offering subsidised winter courses in Scotland, and the application deadline has been extended to 7th November.
If you're thinking of getting out this winter, this course is well worth applying for. It teaches you all the basics of looking after yourself in the winter mountains, and at £70 for 2 days, its a bargain!
Have a look at the website for more details and for the application form.

"This winter the Trust is offering subsidised winter training courses based in the Cairngorms. These courses are specially designed to give a sound introduction to the techniques needed for moving on snow and ice - both in Britain in winter and in the Alps. The course will include use of crampons and ice axes, belaying and rope work, avalanche assessment and other topics related to Winter Mountains.
Each course place costs approximately £150, yet trainees are only charged £70. The Jonathan Conville Memorial Trust provides approximately £3000 to subsidise these courses and Plas y Brenin absorbs the costs associated with delivering the courses along with the BMC who also contribute financially."
I have mentioned these to a number of people, if you are interested in alpine or scotish mountaineering these are a must. Get involved.
