OM Winter Skills Course, Scotland, February 2008 Photographs from the OM Winter Skills Course, Scotland, February 2008

Here are a few photos taken from the OM Winter Skills Course, near Aviemore, Scotland in February 2008. Having been through a spell of relatively mild weather in the 2nd half of the UK winter, there wasn't as much snow and ice as we'd normally expect, but as it turned out that didn't cause us any problems. There was still enough to get some useful experience under the expert guidance of Iain and Al from Kendal Mountaineering Services.
