Spend two days learning and practicing the navigation skills that you will need to walk further, higher and in safety. By the end of the weekend you will have learned the skills to navigate your way up a local mountain. The small group size means individual attention (ideal for beginners or the more experienced) but also the fun element of being with a few like minded people. A mix of some theory complemented by a lot of practical will result in you having the skills and confidence to tackle most out door situations. “It is great to be able to use the learned skills and actually achieve something. The weekend has given me confidence to take to the outdoors without the fear of getting lost. If I do get lost I will be able to find the route again” Debbie.
