And no its not.. at all which is why its so woefully done in its present guise.. another example of how the system is so dangerous.. a fell running ML is 100 x better qualified to take someone out running on the fells than any UKA sponsored/sanctioned award is. There is NO award sponsored or sanctioned by UKA which would enable a runner to lead an off road run..Originally Posted by Rodders
As Witto points out it can be lead by experience.. as long as the guide claims that openly, that's fine,.. or by an ML/WGL type award..
My fear, which I said right from the off.. is these Leadership in Fell running fitness awards have caused confusion, hence your comment and recent adverts on websites.. they just are not for coaching mountain running in the sense of going out and safely mountain running.. however the poor remit of the award, only clear for those who have done the award (ie not potential clients/end users), means we have this confustion..
