Lowland Leader Training Course - Wicklow - This November

I don't run many courses in Wicklow these days; however a two-day Lowland Leader Training Course is coming up in Laragh/Wicklow on 1st & 2nd Nov.

Filling up surprisingly fast, but a couple of spots are still left...

 

This is a nice training and qualification scheme; for people who'd like to guide and lead others in Ireland and UK; on trails and tracks.

 

We'll be covering navigation, group managment, leave no trace, access, route planning, emergency procedures, communication skills, running dynamic/tactile sessions, and more

Fox will Generally Pounce In A North Easterly Direction

Did you know, typically, when a fox pounces on prey it will pounce/jump in a north easterly direction?

If they do pounce in a north easterly direction they catch their prey 73% of the time.

If they pounce in other directions they only catch their prey 18% of the time.

It's believed they are using earth's magnetic field as a range finder...
