Walt has just finished running a Basic Mountain Leader course for the great folks who volunteer for the Centre for Justice and Crime Prevention. CJCP is involved in running wilderness intervention programs for youth-at-risk and juvenile offenders. The course ran at the Trans-Karoo Hiking Trail near Middelburg in the Eastern Cape. VFI is proud of our association with CJCP and we hope the new Mountain Leaders will put their skills to good use.
