Pyrenees

Just returning home from my stint over in Bavaria then onto the French Pyrenees.  The weather was great in both and some excellent snow conditions.  My reason for travelling to the Pyrenees was to attend my International Mountain Leader (IML) winter assessment.  This was the successful completion of a number of years of training and consolidation and the winter assessment was the final phase.  You can find out more about the British Association of International Mountain Leaders by clicking this link.  Spring was certainly around in the Pyrenees over the past couple of days with some nice sunshine and warmer temperatures during the day, however the good news is there was still some snow forecast for this coming weekend.
A happy course at the end of a days snowshoeing
On returning to the UK I will be updating the website and concentrating on this years events, but please feel free to get in touch if there is anything specific you require to achieve in the mountains.  Looking forward to a good summer season.
