The Role of Plas y Brenin in the Development of Outdoor Activities.
Nichols, Geoff
Journal of Adventure Education and Outdoor Leadership, v12 n3 p4-6 Aut 1995
Plas y Brenin, (British) National Mountain Centre, was evaluated through surveys of users of outdoor residential courses, nonusers from relevant sports, and experts. The center's most highly rated aspect was "setting standards for training," but some educators suggested that the center's concentration on technical expertise in sports ignored training needs of outdoor leaders of educational and developmental activities.
