Skills for the Mountains

A six day package aimed at the beginner who wants to venture into the mountains for unsupported single/multi-day trips, independently or with a group.  The course combines a series of lectures and practical lessons and a two-day overnight expedition, which will equip you with the knowledge and skills to head out to the UK hills in summertime.  Included in the programme:

• Planning | How to plan and prepare for a multi-day, overnight trip as an individual or part or an organised group

If you're looking to work to a specific goal, a long distance walk within the UK or similar venture abroad then we can tailor the course and content to suit your requirements ensuring you're as prepared as you can be for for your mountain adventure
