MIAS Level 3 (Mountainous Terrain) assessment - Day 1

Having spent nine hours driving yesterday it was nice to have a lie in (08.30) at the B&B before starting the assessment at 13.00. Simon Hogg had travelled up from Somerset to be on the course as well. If we are both successful it will benefit our clients by not having a tight remit to stick too and being able to go more remote.

Todays part of the assessment was looking at level 3 specific terrain including continuous technical ground and the line between level 2 and level 3 terrain. We used Hopton woods trail centre for this. We covered managing clients through these sections, drop offs and small jumps.

Simon and I opted to also attend a night riding module. We spent a few hours tonight being assessed on our night navigation skills, managing groups at night at the equipment requirements needed for night riding.

A good day out on the bike and feeling relatively confident.
