You’ll learn how to assess weather conditions, manage risk, and use advanced techniques to move through rugged mountain environments. This course is ideal for hikers looking to elevate their skills and gain the confidence needed to tackle more ambitious mountain adventures.

Navigation is a key aspect of hill and mountain walking, and our Navigation Coaching course ensures you’re fully equipped with the knowledge to navigate confidently, using maps and compasses to find your way across varied terrain. You’ll learn critical skills like route planning, interpreting topographical features, and staying on course in challenging conditions. For a unique twist, our Night Navigation Workshop will teach you how to navigate in low-light conditions, an essential skill for those caught out after dark or wishing to expand their adventure opportunities.
