James Sutherland and Ewan McIntyre were joined by 'Old Boys' Rory Gunner and Joshua Baylis for 4 days in the Black Mountains.  The group have been training since January for this, their practise expedition, 4 days and 3 nights in a mountain environment. 

The weather in the mountains over the few days was 'challenging' with patches of snow on the top of the ridges and hail, rain, welsh mizzle, and even a bit of sun thrown in for good measure. 

The boys took everything in their stride and can be really pleased with themselves and their performance.  They now look forward to their Assessed Expedition in August when hopefully the weather will be a little kinder to them.
