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.

At Gateway Adventure we are passionate about the great outdoors and enthusiastically strive to convey this ethos to our clients. As well as the physical and mental health benefits and stimulus that adventurous activities provide, they also allow individuals to develop confidence, useful life skills and an appetite for challenge.

Gateway Adventure can deliver a wide variety of activities, whether they are land or water based. These can range from walking to climbing, kayaking to raft building or archery to bushcraft as well as many other associated outdoor skills. Whatever activity you choose to take part in you’ll have chance to develop your personal skills and gain confidence in your abilities enabling you to venture out with friends or family or even on your own.
