A chilly week ML Assessment A trip over to the Southern Cairngorms for exped kept us below the fresh snow, well done everyone for your efforts over the week. Still places available on the split weekend training in June!

The exped also gave me the opportunity to try out the new Rab Muon 50 "fast hiking pack", really impressed with the comfort of the back & shoulder system, big outside pockets, removable lid and all this for just under 1kg empty. Well done Rab!👌
