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.
About
We are looking forward to welcoming you and would ask that you read the below.
This course focuses on the navigational skills and leadership skills necessary to safely lead a group in the countryside. It is based entirely outdoors although we will start each morning having a coffee.
