WINCH HANDLING
A winch is an incredibly versatile tool, and in some terrains, essential to progress. Learn how to check, prepare, maintain and use your winch on this one day course which is approved by the UK Health and Safety Executive. An additional day of practial winching can be added if required. 

Endorsement from Land Rover Enthusiast Magazine (UK)
"There´s more to winching that paying out the wire, hooking it up to the nearest tree and pressing the remote control button. Much more. So if you´re planning on using a winch in anger and you aren´t already skilled in the business of doing so, you really need to take a course to find out what´s what."
 
"As an introduction to the business of winching, I thought this course was priceless."
