An Instructor's Mountain Gear for October

27th October 2021

For episode nineteen Richard Prideaux goes through the gear he is using for coaching in the mountains on a couple of rainy days in October.

From outer layers, to rucksacks, navigation tools, spare layers, and food. What you take into the mountains will affect the day ahead, and could be the difference between a success or failure. Plan well.
