Assessment

Peaceful Coniston - Location of assessment

Assessment

After a couple of pre assessment jitters I entered the assessment in a well prepare and (rightly?) confident manor.

I had a great day riding even though we were being assessed at all times.

I lead a nice section of trail between Coniston and Grizedale, no dramas.

It is not my right to comment on who should pass an assessment, but if people are carrying insufficient equipment, lead badly and get lost...should they be mtb leaders?

Apparently so.
