Join us on a mountain skills course spread over several days, possibly combining all the elements in several big mountain days! What's better than learning to navigate whilst ticking off classic scrambles, summiting mountains and maybe even sleeping among the giants themselves! Why not combine a scrambling course in the Lake District with some Wainwright walks? Or a Wild Camp as part of a navigation course on Dartmoor?
All of my course can be combined to create a great package. Below are a few of the more popular ideas, but please feel free to contact me if you fancy some other options.
Shy away from those noisy campsites and spend a night in peace among the mountains. Pitch your tent on the shores of a mountain lake and watch the sun set behind our beautiful peaks, and watch it rise again from the warmth of your sleeping bag. Join us on a Wild Camping course to discover the BEST wild camping spots in the Lake District, Snowdonia and Dartmoor! (We won't tell anyone if you don't!)
