Award Description
The Lowland Leader qualification has been designed for people who wish to lead groups on day walks in lowland countryside and woodland in summer conditions. The majority of the UK and Ireland is made up of this type of terrain so you'll never be short of places to go walking.
This Lowland Leader Award Assessment is set on the stunning Gower peninsular, Britain's first Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, near the city of Swansea. The area is covered with a vast variety of terrain types from woods and moors to farmland and beaches, giving us an ideal location to assess you in the skills and knowledge that the Lowland Leader Award includes. There is also a wealth of natural history across the peninsular, human history going back over 36 thousand years and more photogenic views than you can shake a map and compass at! Our Assessments are delivered with a style and pace that that aims to get the very best from those attending. We like to ensure that whilst all aspects of the syllabus are assessed thoroughly and fairly, there are opportunities for further development over the two days. The course will be run by either Gary Evans or Matt Woodfield; we really are two of the best outdoor trainers and assessors in the country, sharing 45 years’ experience as outdoor professionals and a background of business training as well as training and assessing for centres and individuals in walking, climbing, caving and other adventure activities. Have a look at our personal profiles or get in touch to find out more, we're always happy to chat about the outdoors...
