Exploring beyond the footpaths and venturing into the mountains, away from the crowds, requires another level of skills and techniques. Getting lost once away from a path is all too real, but prevention is better than a cure! (but don't worry, I'll provide you with the cure, just in case!).
Learn how to take your walking away from the paths to explore open access land and add more adventure to your routes! Plan longer routes, more remote routes and visit those summits with no footpath to follow.
