Walking in the mountains can be exciting
This mountain skills course is all about looking after yourself in the mountains. We spent 2 days and one evening where we covered everything required to enjoy the mountains. Topics which we covered over the weekend included route planning, clothing systems, mountain weather, emergency situations, environmental issues with walking, and a whole lot of navigation in bad visibility . You also will get technical help whenever you need in the future to keep developing your mountain skills and of course a online log book to keep your walks on.

This is an ideal way to make sure you are equipped for the mountains and to have the confidence to tackle the mountain environment with the skills required!

Looking across to the summit of Tryfan
It is rocky in places, and both descend and ascend are demanding. Navigation can also be problematic in bad poor visibility conditions. You can do the walk over 2 days using a fully equipped mountain hut.
The Welsh 3000s as challenge, walk or experience is second to none! Contact me if this interests you and I can arrange something which suits you.
