Hike Leaders Course

The Hike Leaders Course was held at the Clubhouse on Sat. 7th. May. 18 signed up and some have already agreed to lead some of the hikes that were still without leaders on the current schedule. Thanks and well done!
A big vote of thanks to Nickie and Gerry for all the preparation and running the course. As usual they gave willingly of their time. Gerry was in his element and said afterwards that he still misses teaching. From the comments of the participants, it was a worth while and enjoyable experience.
 Learning the basics of preparedness
 Dealing with obstacles
 Coffee break
 A sample hike
 A sample rest and more Q & A
 Learning how to safely cross a highway
