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.
About
Enjoy 2 days of mountain walking in Snowdonia learning the essential skills needed for a day in the hills. The emphasis of the course will be about developing your existing experience to enable you to take on more challenging routes, away from main paths. The course is ideal for anyone who has some hillwalking experience but wants to get out and do more adventurous walks.
The course will be run by a very experienced instructor and approved Mountain Skills Tutor and we will meet up at Siabod Cafe in Capel Curig.
What does the Mountain Skills course cover?
Planning – how to successfully plan a walk in the mountains in the UK or Ireland.
Walking skills – what things should you consider while out walking and what can make life easier (pace, nutrition, movement skills, steep ground etc.).
Clothing and equipment – being suitably dressed and equipped can make the difference between a great day out and a complete disaster.
Weather – how it affects the mountains and your day out.
Navigation in the mountains – everything from selecting a compass and using a map to navigation in poor visibility and an intro to GPS.
Environmental knowledge – how to minimise your impact on the hill, information on good practice and useful organisations.
Hazards and emergency procedures in the mountains – how to respond to any hazards you encounter and what to do in an emergency.
