"Being a Mountain Leader is so much more than map reading and ropework. This book is aimed at Mountain Leaders and is designed to help them be a better leader once they have the qualification. There is advice herein for trainees and trainers, for the assessed and the assessor. This book moves away from the technical skills gained during training and assessment and focuses on actually being a Mountain Leader. What it does so well is demonstrate what is required to be a good and effective leader after attaining the qualification. Much of the content is also valid for the Hill and Moorland Leader and Lowland Leader holders. " 
 
Only copies bought directly from myself will be signed, come with a free badge and a bookmark.
 
I'm afraid due to the size of this book it has to be sent as a small parcel rather than as a large letter. This means that the postage  cost is higher than the Nature of Snowdonia. You can message me to pick one up or I can bring one a long when we meet (I have a card machine!) if you prefer.
