Award Description

The Hill & Mountain Skills scheme is a great way to develop your personal skills and confidence in all elements of hill and mountain walking. From planning a coastal walk to navigating in complex terrain, these courses are an ideal opportunity to learn the basics and enjoy the countryside. THIS IS NOT THE HILL AND MOORLAND LEADER SCHEME.

About

This great Mountain skills Course run by Lake District Adventuring is aimed at those who already have some mountain navigation experience or are wanting to learn the skills to be able to venture out on the mountains a little more.

During the 2 days we will cover the core fundamentals of mountain navigation as looking at aspects of mountain safety. This is very much a hands on course with maximum time being spend on the fells. We keep our group sizes to a max of 6 to ensure that everyone gets as much out of their instructor as possible.

Day 1: We will meet at a prearranged venue where we’ll go through the out line of the next two days and cover some of the basics (over a brew of course!) From there we will be heading onto the mountains for the rest of the day learning the skills in an open and hands on way.

Day 2: We start the day at the same location we met on day 1, after a quick refresher we will be heading straight out to put all the skills we learned yesterday into practice, this will generally involve the ascent of a peak. All while we will spend time developing your confidence and your own ability to navigate in a mountain environment.
