Vital Statistics for the MPC
|
||||
ALWAYS STAY TOGETHER...DO NOT SPLIT UP...DON’T SPREAD OUT...SET A
|
||||
REASONABLE PACE THAT THE WHOLE TEAM CAN ACHIEVE….
|
||||
The weekend can be tough, stick together as a team.
|
||||
FAMILIARISE ALL THE TEAM WITH THE INTENDED ROUTE USING THE MAPS
|
||||
AND BY COMPLETING A ROUTE CARD.
|
||||
The route card is a planning/safety device used by climbers to plan a route
|
||||
and get to know it before the actual climb. Fill out the card provided using
|
||||
the route outline (everyone in the team is expected to be able to use grid
|
||||
references) so that you and all the team know the route. HAND IN A COPY
|
||||
OF THE COMPLETED ROUTE CARD AT THE START.
|
||||
EVERYONE MUST BE ABLE TO ORIENTATE A MAP TO NORTH AND MUST GET
|
||||
INTO THE HABIT OF KNOWING WHERE THEY ARE ON THE HILLS USING A
|
||||
MAP.
|
||||
YOU ARE EXPECTED TO KNOW THESE BASIC THINGS BEFORE TRYING AN
|
||||
m.p.c. WEEKEND. These are things to learn on a low-level day hike NOT on
|
||||
an MPC weekend in strange mountain terrain.
|
||||
IT IS FOOLISH TO RELY ON ONE PERSON TO NAVIGATE.
|
||||
ENSURE THAT YOU AND ALL YOUR TEAM ARE AS FULLY EQUIPPED AS POS-
|
||||
SIBLE USING THE EQUIPMENT CHECKLIST.
|
||||
This list is provided for your safety and should be referred to carefully. Fill
|
||||
out a team checklist accurately and have a copy ready to hand in at the
|
||||
start.
|
||||
ENSURE THAT YOUR TENT(S) CAN WITHSTAND EXTREME WEATHER.
|
||||
PACK YOUR GEAR IN STRONG PLASTIC BAGS AND INSIDE YOUR RUCKSACK.
|
||||
Avoid having gear hanging on the outside of your rucksack
|
||||
ALWAYS KEEP AN EYE ON THE TIME AND PROGRESS WHEN ON THE HILLS.
|
||||
Refer to the estimated times on the routecard
|
||||
CHECK IN AND OUT OF ALL CHECKPOINTS AS INSTRUCTED
|
||||
If you miss a checkpoint there will be search parties out looking for you so
|
||||
be sure to notify the next checkpoint immediately!
|
||||
To be prepared for an m.p.c. amongst other things do the following before
|
||||
attempting one:
|
||||
Practice pitching the tent in wet, windy conditions
|
||||
Cook a meal or two on trangias to get used to it and work out quick and
|
||||
nourishing meals!
|
||||
Pack your rucksack as for an m.p.c. and bring it along on a day
|
||||
hike...remember everything in plastic bags inside the rucksack!
|
||||
Practice walking a straight bearing and orientating maps
|
||||
Measure the length of your stride so you can calculate distances in mist or
|
||||
darkness.

|
||||
What to Bring
|
||||
Don’t wear jeans… that’s worth repeating!
|
||||
DO NOT WEAR JEANS….they do not hold in warmth, they take ages to dry
|
||||
out, when they’re wet they’re like cardboard and are useless for hillwalking
|
||||
in Irish weather.
|
||||
Wear lots of lighter layers of clothing rather than one or two heavy garments.
|
||||
This will give you more flexibility as weather conditions change. Be sure to
|
||||
bring a fleece jumper or top to wear in the evening or if it gets very cold.
|
||||
Wear comfortable worn-in leather boots with good laces, ankle support and
|
||||
sewn-in tongue…..don’t wear a new pair of boots without wearing them in for
|
||||
a couple of weeks.
|
||||
Wearing doc martin type boots will be allowed but under no circumstances
|
||||
are runners, boot-style runners or wellington boots to be worn, they’re just
|
||||
not suitable.
|
||||
Wear two pairs of woollen socks...avoid wearing socks of synthetic material.
|
||||
If you know you’re going to get a blister in a sensitive spot of your foot then
|
||||
prevention is the best cure...put a plaster there from the word go!
|
||||
Gaiters are a handy extra to keep your boots or lower legs dry. They’re good
|
||||
for boggy conditions or in high grass and heather.
|
||||
A pair of gloves and a woolly or fleece hat are also MUST BRING items. (In
|
||||
survival situations you would not last long without them).
|
||||
Bring a very small washkit (don’t forget toilet roll!), and a small personal
|
||||
first-aid kit with plenty of plasters in case you get a blister.
|
||||
Carry a bivvy bag (survival bag) in case you run into difficulties……
|
||||
It can be used be used to store excess gear outside the tent at night (be sure
|
||||
It is secure from rain)
|
||||
To improvise a stretcher for emergency use (place a small stone in each
|
||||
corner for grip)
|
||||
It can give you emergency shelter
|
||||
It can act as an additional groundsheet
|
||||
It can be used as an emergency signalling device (as they are usually bright
|
||||
orange and big!)

|
||||
Packing Hints
|
||||
Carry all gear securely on your back inside plastic bags inside your rucksack!
|
||||
Make sure your rucksack has a bin bag liner in addition.
|
||||
Pack in reverse order to need. Bedding rolled tightly and tied. First in last
|
||||
out.
|
||||
Balance weight – heavy items close to your back
|
||||
Don’t suspend items from the outside of your rucksack! It is O.K. to roll a
|
||||
ground mat and secure it with bungees or straps to the top of the rucksack.
|
||||
Your packed rucksack should not weigh more than about 11 kilograms.
|
||||
The important thing about your sleeping bag is to put it into a compression
|
||||
sack and keep it dry, get it right into the rucksack in a plastic bag.
|
||||
Don’t forget to bring an insulating ground mat and perhaps a sheetbag for
|
||||
extra warmth.
|
||||
First-aid gear, rain gear, matches, etc. should all be easy to find.
|
||||
In general cut down unnecessary weight as much as possible...leave the china
|
||||
mug at home along with the two litres of coke!
|
||||
Don’t waste space...the inside of pots and mugs can be used for storage.
|
||||
Pack your rucksack as neatly and compactly as possible.
|
||||
Check that your rucksack straps are comfortably adjusted and that they
|
||||
won’t loosen. Your rucksack should have an internal frame and a waist belt
|
||||
- DON’T bring a rucksack with a 1950’s external frame and no waistbelt that
|
||||
you found in your grandad’s attic! Your shoulders will be in agony trying to
|
||||
carry it and you’ll be in misery for the duration of the weekend!

|
||||
Accidents
|
||||
Your team should be able to cope with a number of potential
|
||||
accidents...anything from burns due to careless use of a stove (practice and
|
||||
perfect cooking before taking to the hills!) to fractures and sprains due to
|
||||
falls (wear decent boos and take care) if the patient can’t be moved or you
|
||||
are afraid to attempt it due to a bad accident then make them as comfort-
|
||||
able as possible, treat them for shock, create shelter and get help.
|
||||
There should be at least five in any hillwalking group so it should be possible
|
||||
to send two able navigators for help provided conditions allow it. Ensure
|
||||
those going for help take note of the exact position of the shelter and can
|
||||
explain exactly what is wrong with the patient.
|
||||
Attempting to carry a patient or using an improvised stretcher is ill advised
|
||||
except over short distances to get the patient to a safe location in emergen-
|
||||
cies or if you are very close to “home”.
|
||||
If you are lost, tired out, have an accident or find yourself in dangerous ter-
|
||||
rain…….
|
||||
- Stop -
|
||||
- Stay together -
|
||||
- Get as comfortable as possible -
|
||||
- Never send anyone for help -
|
||||
- Give distress signals on whistles -
|
||||
- Help will not be far away -
|
||||
Whistle distress call: six long blasts...pause...six long blasts, and so on.
|
||||
Only use your whistle in emergencies
|
||||
Exposure
|
||||
Wet, windy and/or very cold weather conditions contribute to excessive
|
||||
fatigue (both physical tiredness and low morale) and lowering of body
|
||||
temperature. This can lead to exposure (also called hypothermia) if you
|
||||
are unfit, do not have the necessary gear with you to stay warm or you
|
||||
have not eaten properly.
|
||||
So to help prevent the problem: Bring the right gear; Keep as dry as pos-
|
||||
sible; Eat properly; Don’t lengthen your journey unnecessarily through bad
|
||||
navigation; Work as a team – share the load and the work
|
||||
It is by no means unusual for backpacking hillwalkers to be tired and wet,
|
||||
but be on the lookout for certain signs which indicate that someone is
|
||||
starting to suffer from exposure rather than just fatigue.
|
||||
Watch out for clumsy or irrational behaviour, shivering and stumbling.
|
||||
Speech may be slurred and the person will be ice cold. If the person
|
||||
actually collapses then stop straight away and create warmth and shelter
|
||||
for the patient…
|
||||
1. Put the patient in a sleeping bag and bivvy bag
|
||||
2. Put up a tent or shelter
|
||||
3. Reassure the patient
|
||||
4 5
|
||||
4. Get help by sending whistle signals.

||||

|
||||
Navigation
|
||||
Always know where you are on a map. Double check routes and bearings.
|
||||
Never leave it to one person to navigate, always involve the whole patrol.
|
||||
Follow obvious features where possible, for example, paths, walls, earth-
|
||||
banks, etc.
|
||||
Be wary of following streams (up or down) as they generally take a steep
|
||||
route downhill and are likely to be slippy and hazardous to climb near.
|
||||
Orientate your map correctly and check features around you constantly! Fea-
|
||||
ture recognition is the surest means of navigation. Make use of your compass
|
||||
to orientate your map accurately and to double check direction of travel.
|
||||
This will be essential in low visibility conditions or at night as you can’t navi-
|
||||
gate by features if you can’t see them!
|
||||
Don’t forget to use the contours on the map to help navigate. Walking around
|
||||
a hill or peak while maintaining the same height is called contouring.
|
||||
Get used to the scale on the map so that you can judge actual distances.
|
||||
Don’t follow other patrols blindly. Do your own navigation as a team.
|
||||
On The Hills….
|
||||
Ziz’n’zag up and down steep slopes...you of course will think that this only
|
||||
makes your journey longer...but you will be far more comfortable and energy
|
||||
efficient and your ankles will be most grateful...dig in heels rather than toes
|
||||
for extra sure-footedness and comfort.
|
||||
Avoid losing height that you have gained while on route...i.e. cutting across a
|
||||
“valley” may seem like a short cut but you loose height and then you end up
|
||||
having to climb a steep slope to regain it...remember from a distance a steep
|
||||
slope can look deceivingly easy. Use trees, sheep, and any feature of known
|
||||
size to make a more accurate judgement.
|
||||
Go the easy way… not the shortest cut! Avoid dense forest, marshy ground,
|
||||
muck and private property!
|
||||
Watch time! Always keep an eye on your progress relative to where you
|
||||
should be at a particular time… this is a primary purpose of the routecard.
|
||||
The other benefit of it is that a copy can be left with a responsible person in
|
||||
case of emergencies.
|
||||
Be alert to the onset of mist/rain/fog/ and darkness! If you are really behind
|
||||
time then consider making an escape route, but only as instructed at the
|
||||
start.
|
||||
Hurrying down steep slopes or stony tracks is another way of getting a free
|
||||
trip on a scout stretcher (a fate worse than death I can assure you – they
|
||||
don’t call them stretchers for nothing!).

|
||||
Cooking Equipment
|
||||
Trangia type methylated spirit stoves are to be recommended as an efficient,
|
||||
dependable and sheltered heat source for cooking in wet ’n’ windy condi-
|
||||
tions. They have the added advantage that you are provided with a compact
|
||||
set of pots to boot!
|
||||
The obvious drawback is the necessit to carry highly flammable meths…
|
||||
Make sure you use a dependable container (not glass or light plastic) wrapped
|
||||
in a plastic bag and stored away from food.
|
||||
Gas stoves are generally not recommended unless they are of an MSR type,
|
||||
or butane/propane mix.
|
||||
Whatever you use to cook with be sure that all the team know how to use
|
||||
them safely. The top of a mountain in bad weather is not the place to learn
|
||||
to use a stove for the first time or to experiment or mess with meths or
|
||||
gas!
|
||||
Always refill and light stoves away from tents and avoid cooking near your
|
||||
tent if at all possible.
|
||||
Don’t lean over an appliance as you light it unless you want to use your eye-
|
||||
brows (or worse)
|
||||
Don’t forget to bring along some washing up gear!
|
||||
Tentage
|
||||
Your tent is your home for the challenge...one which you will be carrying on
|
||||
your back from the start to basecamp, basecamp to high camp, and from
|
||||
highcamp to the finish. There will probably be two tents per team; a three
|
||||
man and a two man at least. Your tents will probably suffer punishment from
|
||||
the weather so here’s a few tips to help them survive high winds and lashing
|
||||
rain if necessary (no guarantees though!!!)
|
||||
Check the tent thoroughly before the m.p.c….
|
||||
All seams should be strong
|
||||
Peg loops not torn or damaged
|
||||
Zips or ties all intact
|
||||
No missing guys
|
||||
Poles undamaged
|
||||
All pegs accounted for and unbent with a few extra for double-pegging
|
||||
All pegs preferably of the v-type rather than wire pegs
|
||||
No tears in the flysheet
|
||||
No tears in the groundsheet
|
||||
Improve your tents survival chances by….
|
||||
Sewing extra guys to the seam at the bottom of the fly-sheet and half way
|
||||
up the side seams
|
||||
Pegging properly all pegs at 45 degrees and double peg where appropriate)
|
||||
Pitching the tent with the door away from the wind and in as sheltered a
|
||||
spot as possible
|
||||
using rocks to prevent pegs being pulled out by the wind (be careful that you
|
||||
don’t damage the tent though!)

||||
Food / Menu Suggestions
|
||||
Eating well is essential for health and good spirits, but unless you want to
|
||||
break your back you must try to keep weight to a comfortable minimum. The
|
||||
secret is a well planned menu and some organisation in dividing the food out
|
||||
for packing.
|
||||
Avoid food with long cooking times, it wastes fuel and keeps you hanging
|
||||
around, which is the last thing you want to do if its lashing rain!
|
||||
Try organising your menu so that all you need to do is boil water! This makes
|
||||
cooking convenient and eliminates washing up of pots.
|
||||
Bring pre-cooked food which only needs heating up and use boil-in-the-bag
|
||||
rice or curry to add instant interest.
|
||||
Water from boiling “boil-in-the-bag” food, etc, can be used for wash up to
|
||||
save time, fuel & water.
|
||||
Frys can be inadvisable as they create messy washing up and too much
|
||||
grease will stick in your stomach...not the best if you’ve a long hike ahead
|
||||
of you.
|
||||
Boil all stream water before drinking it and use sterilising tablets…...you
|
||||
know, the ones in your survival kit!
|
||||
Use you common sense to cut down weight, for instance….
|
||||
Don’t bring eighty tea bags when twenty is more than enough; don’t bring
|
||||
a loaf of bread bought in a shop on the Friday night, it’ll get soaked and
|
||||
squashed… everyone should have their own ration of sandwiches organised.
|
||||
Organise your food on the basis of the following criteria:
|
||||
Nourishment value (you will need to eat well when hillwalking for energy)
|
||||
Convenience of cooking and preparation
|
||||
Minimum weight and bulk (remove unnecessary packaging)
|
||||
Maximum appeal! (try to make your meals appetising despite the con-
|
||||
straints)
|
||||
Don’t plan your menu on the basis of one of these, take them all into
|
||||
account!
|
||||
In general:
|
||||
Pack everything, as compactly as possible (into small containers or see-
|
||||
through plastic bags)
|
||||
Bring nothing made of glass
|
||||
Ensure all liquids are stored in sealed containers and in compartments/bags
|
||||
separate from food, etc (bring a small roll of tape in case of problems?)
|
||||
Discard all unnecessary packaging.
