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.

This course is run in the The Chilterns, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty stretching across Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire & Bedfordshire.  The area is very popular for Duke of Edinburgh Award expeditions so if you plan to use the award for this purpose this is a great opportunity to become more familiar with it.

The course will start at The Iron Room located 50m from Tring Station which is serviced regularly by trains from Watford Junction & Harrow & Wealdstone and each day will run from 9-5

Lowland Leaders should be competent in the following key areas, all of which will be covered during your two day training course.

• Leadership Skills and Group Management
• Walking Skills
• Planning a Walk
• Basic Mapwork and Route Finding Skills
• Equipment
• Hazards and Emergency Procedures
• Environmental Awareness, Conservation, Access and Land Ownership

Prior to the course you will receive full pre course information ensuring you arrive fully prepared.
