About the trip
The Mountain Skills course is an ideal choice for people interested in exploring mountainous terrain and wanting to develop their confidence in the mountains.
It’s a great way to learn the essential skills you will need to enjoy the mountains in the UK safely. Whether you’d like to feel more confident using a map or you have ambitions to climb Everest, the Mountain Skills course is a great first step.
Delivered by qualified and experienced mountain professionals, the course is nationally accredited and developed with Mountain Training, the awarding body for qualifications in walking, climbing and mountaineering.
The courses takes place entirely outdoors and cover a range of topics including what clothes you should wear, what equipment you should carry with you, how to plan your day out, what routes you can take, understanding the weather, how to navigate using paper and digital mapping and dealing with emergencies in the outdoors. Experienced instructors will share their knowledge with you and answer any questions you have about exploring the hills and mountains of the UK.
I run regular public courses in the Snowdonia and Peak District National Parks throughout the year or I can provide a bespoke course for you and your family, small group of friends or whole organisation. If there are two or more of you then I'll happily put on a private course just for you on a date and location that suits. Prices start from £75 per person on our public courses and private courses start from £300 for up to eight people.
My Hill and Mountain Skills courses take place over two days and you’ll need to arrange accommodation and we can often help with recommendations if you’re stuck. The courses are held entirely outdoors so be sure to bring everything you need with you. More information is provided nearer the date.
