Award Description

The Lowland Leader qualification has been designed for people who wish to lead groups on day walks in lowland countryside and woodland in summer conditions. The majority of the UK and Ireland is made up of this type of terrain so you'll never be short of places to go walking.

The leadership opportunities for Lowland Leaders are varied and far reaching, from the South West Coast Path to the Great Glen Way; walking in lowland areas can be no less spectacular than walking high up in the mountains. And with campaigns such as Britain on Foot and Walking for Health proving really popular, there’s never been a better time to be a walking leader.

This Lowland Leader Assessment is delivered by Skern Training & Skills, under the providership of Garland Mountaineering.

This is a practical and active 16 hour programme, spread across 2 days, and will be based in the coastal countryside of North Devon.
The assessment syllabus includes:

- Leadership responsibilities
- Decision making
- Planning and weather
- Hazards and emergency procedures
- Equipment
- Walking skills
- Navigation
- Teaching and learning
- Access, conservation and the environment
- Background knowledge

This is a non-residential programme, however we have a strong relationship with Skern Lodge in Appledore, whom may have rooming or camping facilities available. If you wish to enquire about accommodation at this site during the course, please contact them directly on 01237 475992. (The cost of this accommodation is not included in the course price).
