Award Description
The Hill and Moorland Leader award is designed for people who want to lead groups in the hill and moorland areas of the UK and Ireland. This award is a wonderful opportunity to learn the leadership skills required to feel confident about taking people out walking. As you may have guessed from the descriptive title of this award, it focuses on non-mountainous terrain.
Our three-day Hill and Moorland Leader Training course is based in the High Peak and is designed to give a thorough introduction to the skills required to lead walking groups in moorland terrain. There is a strong focus on the practical skills which leaders of groups need and navigation away from paths is a key part of this. Practical sessions are supplemented by evening lectures on subjects such as upland weather, emergency procedures and the legal aspects of leading groups.
As part of the training course candidates will be provided with clear feedback to help in the development of an action plan towards their potential future assessment.
