These
series of courses follow requests from clients
who are walkers, asking me to offer the same
skills, techniques and tricks of the trade available
to the mountaineer.
Every course is personalised
according to your experience
and what you wish to learn.
All course dates and locations are agreed in
discussion with you.
For example, how does a few days backpacking
along part of Wainwright's Coast to Coast path
this August sound?
Hill
Walking Skills
One or two days instruction aimed
at either the lone walker or those taking groups
or their family into the hills. As with all
courses on offer, the learning is driven by
your needs. Topics can include hazards
on the hills, advanced navigation techniques
and route selection, group
management, what to carry/equipment
choice etc.

Hill
Navigation
Aimed at any body with an interest
in navigation no-matter their current ability.
Develop your skills at your own pace in a supportive
environment. A wide range of techniques
and tricks of the trade can
be potentially learnt and practiced. Remember
that ‘Perfect Practice Makes Permanent’.

Guided
Walks
Ever
wanted to walk a route you have read or heard
about, but are really not sure about your hillcraft
skills? Have you an ideal journey in mind but
have little time to organise or undertake such
a venture?
Well having your own personal guide might be
the answer. Remove the stress and strain of
organisation, navigation, timings, safety(!),
call or e-mail
with your dream journey.

Long
Distance Walks – The Basics
Experience the independence and contentment
of crossing the hills, with everything you need
on your back.
Explore the rolling hills and
moors with a freedom to visit any established
campsite or Youth Hostel of your choice. Learn
the small details that enable others and now
you to walk long distance footpaths
with confidence and comfort.
Once again, as on all courses, you determine
what you want to learn. The two days either
side of your overnight experience can involve
any of the elements from this Hillcraft page.
