Hey everyone! We would love to get some more bushwalking and bikepacking leaders starting up their training before summer. If you're keen to run some of your own trips and have bushwalking or bikepacking experience come along to our leadership training night to find out about the process :)
Who is this session for?
a) Those with some hiking or bikepacking experience who would like to lead their own trips with MUMC.
b) Prospective leaders on their leadership journey who haven't attended a training yet.
c) Current leaders who want to brush up on their knowledge.
d) Anyone wanting to upskill or to gain an understanding of what goes into being a bushwalking or bikepacking leader.
We will be covering:
- What a trip leader is
- How to plan a great trip
- Running a pre-trip meeting
- Duty of care
- Environmental conservation
- Navigation and safety
- Incident and emergency management
...and more!
If you're interested in becoming a leader but don't know if you have the experience required, don't hesitate to reach out! There are many leadership options available and pathways to build the skills required.
**N.B. This interactive session is a compulsory component of the bushwalking and bikepacking leadership process and generally runs once/semester.
Please contact Eleanor and Ella () for more details.
