Well I have just got back in from a couple of days doing some ML training for the Conway Centre, it was the second course I had worked on for different companies that had asked if I had course provider status. This would allow me to run my own courses, and all I can say is at present I am starting the processes to see if that is possible. In that a few weeks back I sent an email to the MLT mainly to see what hoops I have to jump through, and whether they think that I am a) suitable and b) there isn’t too many providers in my areas, which is North Wales. Sadly I suspect that b) might be an issue as there are many registered course providers in the area. Either way it may well be an interesting process to go through.
Instead one of the Conway Centre staff who is a registered provider is fronting up the course and I worked day one and two of the course which was the navigation and ML ropework days. We head around Crimpau for the nav and Nant peris for the rope work. WHilst its was a bit damp yesterday, it was much better today. I also had the joy of putting together a Weather talk, for the group, and thank goodness for google images, I also found a great synoptic of what looked like the ‘perfect storm’ from the end of October 2000.
Sadly my day isn’t over yet as I have to head back out this evening to do some night navigation practice, which as the year goes on gets later and later. It won’t be dark by 9.30 tonight, so I suspect a 11 to 12pm finish. By which time I’ll be goosed.
