Hill Walking Skills

Summary:

Our Hillwalking Skills courses are the ideal way to get started. You may have some experience of hillwalking but lack the confidence to plan routes off the beaten track. No previous experience is required however, only a reasonable level of fitness. This course can be run in many places across the UK , so please get in touch if you would like a course delivered near to you.

Anyone who would like to plan their own hill walks around the UK or brush up on some basic navigation skills. This course is aimed at beginners and to boost confidence for becoming independent hill walkers.
