This programme may vary, depending on prevailing weather conditions and areas of the syllabus to be assessed.

Steep Ground & Rope Work 09:00 - 15:00

Navigation 15:00 - 22.00 or after sufficient time is spent navigating in poor visibility.

If you are to be reassessed in both areas you will obviously start at 09:00 and return to the centre for 15:00 before being briefed for the navigation session at 16:00.

It is important to note that the above outline programme is a guide. Times may vary due to weather conditions or other reasons.

N.B. At time of booking please ensure you submit a copy of the deferment page from your log book. This allows the assessor to plan the appropriate format required for your reassessment.

Bring any of your own personal hill walking/outdoor clothing and kit, such as; waterproof jacket and trousers, boots, fleece jacket, hat and gloves, flask, water bottle, Mourne map (1:25,000), compass Silva type 4 or similar and spare clothes.

Tollymore can supply most of the equipment you require for this course but as an aspirant ML it is assumed you will be fairly self-sufficient in terms of kit.
