We have a new crop of students at West Highland College UHI who are receiving a range of foundation training in different activities. Today I was with a brilliant group of students coaching core rock climbing skills. We started out with the essentials of putting on a helmet and harness properly, then tying in and belaying. Next up we went to look at single point anchors at the top of a crag for top roping climbs and abseils. It was a stunning day - continuous sunshine and bone dry rock but cold in the wind. We need to get used to it, it looks like this blocking high pressure will be with us for a good few days to come. Beautiful autumn weather for getting outdoors and watching the colours change for winter.
