How come?Don’t bother, complete waste of your time
Total lack of communication and organisation.How come?
I’d disagree. Last year UKDTR took on around a dozen new teams to go through their mentoring scheme. Going really well.Total lack of communication and organisation.
Shame as it’s a superb idea, and a much needed service, which by all accounts the tracking side of things seems to work very well.
Speaking from personal experience so I’m afraid you can disagree as much as you want, I found them shockingly bad.I’d disagree. Last year UKDTR took on around a dozen new teams to go through their mentoring scheme. Going really well.
Two of my mates are on the mentoring scheme currently - both seem very pleased with their training sessions.Don’t bother, complete waste of your time
Its set up purely for training those who are willing to do the call outs ! I see nothing wrong with that especially when the organisers spend a lot of their time and personal money setting up training days for new guys , attending the shows etc , etcDon’t bother, complete waste of your time
And your point is what, doesn’t change the fact they are terrible at communications,Its set up purely for training those who are willing to do the call outs ! I see nothing wrong with that especially when the organisers spend a lot of their time and personal money setting up training days for new guys , attending the shows etc , etc
Why should they do all that to train a guy with a "dog" who is never going to do the call outs spending their own money on fuel, kit and other expenses to help a guy out ?
Have you seen what BASC and other trainers etc charge for doing a DSC1 qual ?
