Association of Mountaineering Instructors

Due to heavy rain, I had to change plans today with my group. Instead of our intended day of winter mountaineering, we retreated inside to the climbing wall where the rains battered down on the roof until mid-afternoon. Clare however, made the most of the late bright spell by biking down to the coast.

The views of the mountains as I drove to the Association of Mountaineering Instructors AGM were fantastic. The low sun was casting light on the freshly snow covered peaks and if I’d not been running late to the meeting, then I’d have stopped to take some better photos.

Spent the start of the AGM evening getting upto date on new changes to the UK mountaineering qualifications, then after a social dinner at Plas y Brenin, stayed a while to listen to a talk about climbing in America, before more social time. By the time I left, the van was covered in frost. A long, tiring, informative and social day!
