Award Description
The Hill & Mountain Skills scheme is a great way to develop your personal skills and confidence in all elements of hill and mountain walking. From planning a coastal walk to navigating in complex terrain, these courses are an ideal opportunity to learn the basics and enjoy the countryside. THIS IS NOT THE HILL AND MOORLAND LEADER SCHEME.
Join your Course Director, Patrick Norris to undertake your Hill Skills course in the Cheviot Hills, in the north of the Northumberland National Park. Over the 2-days that we are together, you will complete the Hill Skills syllabus, have every opportunity to learn, practice and develop your map and compass skills and leave with the knowledge to get out and about on your own hill walking adventures.
The terrain is ideal, accessible and diverse enough with plenty of interest to ensure that every subject and learning opportunity is covered, while we are out and about in the Cheviot Hills.
Wooler has lots of accommodation including a Youth Hostel, bed and breakfast and campsites too.
I am happy to answer questions and make recommendations to assist you as you plan your Hill Skills course here in Northumberland.
Patrick has years of walking and training experience in the outdoors activity industry under his belt. He runs his own guided walks business in Northumberland and he has been delivering Hill Skills courses since their inception in 2014.
