April 2011 saw four of our intrepid Explorers attend a week long the Intermediate Mountaineering Course at Lochearnhead run by district. It covered introductory hillwalking for Explorers, Network and Leaders.  With 4 days of walks learning the basics of navigation and route finding before going out on a 3-day wild country camping expedition.
 
Sarah, Karen, Sammy and Chris said "It was an amazing week. We learnt navigating in the mountains and got to do an expedition with a night wild camping too. Looking forward to going back next year."
