Led by Markus! A great hill to teach skills on, plus lovely weather for it and a cool group. Would have perhaps been easier with someone else too other than me but that's being picky. Delights included map reading, pacing, bearings, the triangle game and even finding two geocaches! Enthusiasm did dissipate before we could play the 'hide your bag' game (hikers reluctant to hide their own bags after doubting their comrades skills - perhaps introduce an element of desperation by changing it into the 'hide your friend's bag' game...)
