I have just returned from a days navigation course shadowing Chris furthering my experience as an Mountain Leader trainee.
When you are not the instructor or attendee it gives you the opportunity to observe listen and learn. Whilst Chris was very thorough he had a very relaxed approach about, him his class were never afraid to ask further questions or make a contribution when appropriate. I could see them growing in confidence as the day went on and it was great to see how much the class had developed both personally and as a group when the day concluded.
Chris is very passionate about his business and giving his clients exactly what they require. For myself I gained so much from today and as I often say it’s the little things you learn from others, that they may not be even aware of. I have now asked Chris to mentor me to help gain my Mountain Leader award.
