doing this next weekend in Pitlochry, keen to hear how others have found it.
Cheers
Up the A9 until you pass Ballinluig and then look for the signs.
predictable as ever Colin 🙂
With Jules I take it. I'm not sure if you know him but he is ace. Very good instructor with tons and tons of knowledge. As for the course itself just make sure you can read a map to a reasonable standard. The rest he will teach you. It's not that hard really.
Got my level 3 with him soon. Really looking forward to it. Drop me an email if you want any specifics.
^^^ yes, don't know him but have heard good things ! I am ok with maps... Looking forward to it indeed !
Jules is fantastic and he will make it fun and teach you what you need. I did my qualifications with him and really enjoyed myself. My advice is to go with an open mind, you will learn a lot about many different, and surprising things.
cheers doug, long time no speak, hope all going well, cheers
All good thanks! Hope the same with you. (And you too Mac t k).
The course is pretty easy if you can ride (I know you can!) and Jules teaches you his method for maps etc. Having said that I almost failed mine when I managed a tricky map section and assumed I had passed so switched off and enjoyed the fantastic riding. Jules stopped me and asked if I could show him where we were on the map. I didn't have a clue! Great fun.
Hey Doug, living the dream as always. Looking forward to seeing you guys in May.
Yea the only thing I would say expanding on the map reading is that obviously you travel a lot faster on a bike. A bit of practise navigating and judging distances while riding makes a lot of difference.
