Mountain Skills 1 and 2
Ever wanted to learn the skills you need to become a competent navigator in the mountains of Ireland and beyond by day, by night or bad weather?
Hiking along the Irish mountains can be a thrilling and rewarding experience, offering breathtaking views and a chance to stretch out your legs. However, poor visibility can turn this enjoyable activity into a dangerous one. Poor visibility can arise due to various weather conditions such as fog, heavy rain, snowstorms, or low-lying clouds.
The risks associated with poor visibility include an increased likelihood of getting lost, accidents, and falls due to obscured hazards on the trail. Additionally, hikers may face exposure to changing weather conditions without adequate preparation, leading to potential health issues. Poor visibility and weather conditions can also hinder rescue operations and limit communication options in case of emergencies.
