If you have an interest in hillwalking in the mountains in summer conditions and would like to be a confident and self sufficient navigator, happy on grade 1 scrambling ground and able to look after yourself in summer conditions then this is the course for you.
Over the 5 days we will spend 3 days focusing on mountain navigation, taking in some of Snowdonias finest summits along the way. We will then devote 2 days to heading onto steeper ground and looking at the skills involved in enjoying grade 1 scrambles. These latter two days will be tailored to suit the groups skills and aspirations.
This course is ideal for complete beginners. It is also a good grounding for anyone looking to gain pre-requiste experience before attending a Mountain Leader training course. The course is suitable for anyone over the age of 18, there is no maximum age and we regularly get a mixture of ages and experience and are used to tailoring the course to meet the needs of a varied group of people.
This course includes the MTUKI Mountain Skills course.
