A little training can go a long way!

“The great outdoors” can seem not quite so great if you get soaking wet, freezing cold, completely lost and fall out with your friends because you are all having a miserable time!
On our navigation days and camp-craft courses we spend a great deal of time and effort to ensure that you have all the skills at your fingertips to make your outdoors adventure a success.

It is important to understand what can go wrong and why:

Why do some people get blisters and others not?

Why does my rucksack weigh 40lbs and my friend’s only 20lbs but we’re carry the same things?

Why do I get cold in my tent at night and my friend doesn’t?

How can you find your way through the woods in the dark?

Why is my “waterproof” not waterproof!?

Many People Look but They Do Not See

You don’t just need to be walking for it’s own sake in order to keep fit. If you have your head down and you are trudging along you can miss wonderful learning opportunities.
A walk can take you through history, it can help you discover why the land is shaped as it is and how we can protect the land. A walk can introduce you to wildlife and wild foods. A night walk can dispel fears and build teamwork.

Low level walking and navigation lessons, courses and short breaks take place throughout the year.

We can create a programme to suit your group. The possibilities are endless, so contact us today to discuss your needs.
