Part of a four day HF Holidays leader assessment. Saturday had been spent testing fine navigation around Dock Tarn and night orienteering in Whinlatter Forest. Sunday was spent on the above route with lots of 'incidents'. We also had lots of other indoor sessions covering subjects such as party management, risk assessments, weather and evening activities.
