Event Description

"The mountains will always be there, the trick is to make sure you are too."

Hervey Voge

This mountain navigation course is ideal for anyone who wants to be self sufficient in the mountains of the UK.

This course is aimed at those who have previously taken the Beginners Navigation Course or already have the skills covered on that course.

The course is suitable for anyone over the age of 18, although we do allow under 18's if they are accompanied by an adult. There is no maximum age and we regularly get a mixture of ages and experience and are used to tailoring the course to meet the needs of a varied group of people.

"Mountains have a way of dealing with overconfidence."

Hermann Buhl
