So after the first course earlier in the year , Ive been walking every week with gps in the bag and just using a map and compass . Needless to say ive been watching youtube. So i decided to enrol the Hill Skills Course , based in Austwick. Fantastic day. Jonathans calm teaching style is great, and if you dont get it just ask again. I learned a few more skills and cant wait to put them into practice. I feel far more comfortable and confident now in the hills. Im enjoying using my new skills whilst out walking and it adds to the enjoyment ,knowing im planning my own walks and if the worst happens im in a great place to get my self to safety . Great Course Mountain Skills Course next

I would thoroughly recommend the Hill Skills day. I was talking myself out of going, thinking that I would be out of my depth. But, I’m so glad I went along. A great day, learning and practising skills. I left more confident and determined to plan my own walks.

The Hill Skills course was very useful. I have struggled to use compasses properly for years and Jonathan was patient and by the end I was much more confident I can find my way in the cloud. A very useful day in the lovely Yorkshire Dales

Hi Jonathan Just a note to say how much I enjoyed the Intermediate Navigation Course yesterday. Your method of going through the fundamentals first worked great for me. A Very rewarding and useful day delivered in a friendly patient and professional manner. I would recommend it to anyone. Thank you. Best regards David
