Hill Skills

The UK has a huge variety of hillwalking from the Highlands to North Wales and the Lake District offering superb walks and adventures. All of which do require a few essential skills. The primary one is the ability to deal with the often poor weather days. Being equipped properly and very importantly have an ability to navigate proficiently using a map and compass. Our courses deliver those essential skills in either a comprehensive day or weekend practically out in the hills.
