A week with Laggan Lia

 I spent the week befor my ML assesment with Annie LE and the other Laggan Lia trainees.  They had a personal development week so we spent it walking.
The first day we climbed Fiacaill Ridge with lots of snow on it.  On the top, in a total whoteout we practiced night nav in the snow with went supprising well so we decended off the plateau in the right place back to Laggan Lia for tea and cake.
 
On the second day we headed up Bynock Mor and Bynock Beag for some naving practice.  Vis was really short so after loads of bearings and pacing we arived at the top of the ptarmagan lift to walk back to the Lodge for a pint.
On the third day we headed up Creag Meagaidh for a bit more nav practice with all the traionees and a few of their friends as well.  We had a great day looking at all the flora a fauna which was great practice for my looming ML assesment.
The day befor my ML assesment I was still not confident about my pacing so biked up Glen Feshie to climb Sgoran Dubh Mor and really blitz the pacing.  All wnet well and i then felt ready for assesment.
