5 Day Navigation & Mountain Skills Course

 

The MountainsPlus 5 day course will take you from a position of little or no experience to having a firm understanding of mountain navigation techniques. The first 2 days are spent covering the same syllabus as the 2 day beginners course, and this is then followed up with 3 days of hands-on experience in real situations, putting your new found skills into practice in the mountain environment.

 

This course provides a wonderful opportunity to develop a really sound knowledge of mountain navigation, and to ensure that you have clear confidence in your own abilities. There will be plenty of walking in the testing Lakeland terrain and lots of scope to tick off some Wainwrights if you wish. The course will also cover those other essential skills which complete the mountaineer’s toolkit, and by the end of the 5 days you will have developed a well founded basis for a lifetime of mountain activity. The cost of the course is £290
