This is always a great course, lots of learning and always lots of laughs with the odd adventure thrown in.
We don't hike very far or very fast so you don’t have to be very fit to participate.
‘Mountain Skills 1’ is ideal for beginners or novices who want to learn the fundamentals of navigation in the Irish mountains.

Contact me and I'll send you all the details about the course and how to book your place and pay.
