First Aid "for Mountaineers"

The weekend course is aimed at those who are regularly taking parties of young people into what the Scout Association term “Potentially Hazardous Country”. (e.g. Hill Walking, Caving, Rock Climbing, Expeditions etc.), but is open to anyone who has a genuine interest in more focused First Aid training for activities outdoors.
