Would you like the confidence to head into the wild with a group of friends knowing you have the tools to keep yourself and your group safe? Confidence in the mountains is more than just navigating, we have created a program to cover the most important aspects of hiking in wild regions such as the Lake District and the Scottish highland. This course is perfect for people looking to get into the hills alone, start a new hobby, lead your friends, or if you're thinking about starting a career in the outdoors. The program will include:
​
- Mountain weather
- Clothing and equipment
- Hazards
- Navigation - and what to do if you get lost!
- Group control
- Planning a trip
- Access and conservation
- Emergency procedures
- What's the next step
​
We have run navigation courses in the past but this time we wanted to focus on a more rounded outdoor course to include more. Our groups are always small and personal. Check below for how the day will run:
