Hill Skills Course

Do you want to have your own adventure’s in the hills?.

If you’re new to hill walking, the Hill Skills course will provide a perfect introduction to hillwalking for anyone of any ability.

Skills include navigation, walking pace and movement, clothing, equipment and weather, discount available for AAC (UK) members, see details below and specific course dates for bespoke courses.

*Note: If you already have some hill walking experience, but want to progress to steep mountain terrain, then the Mountain Skills course is for you. Check out my other events for Mountain Skills course dates.

The 2-Day Hill Skills course is nationally accredited and endorsed by Mountain Rescue England and Wales and will provide you with the skills and confidence to:

• Successfully plan a walk in the hills in the UK or Ireland
• Understand pace, nutrition and movement skills over various terrain & steep ground
• Make an informed choice of correct clothing and equipment – being suitably dressed and equipped can make the difference between a great day out and a complete disaster
• Interpret the weather – how it may affect the hills and your day
• Navigate in the hills – everything from selecting a compass and using a map to navigation in poor visibility and an intro to GPS
• Environmental knowledge – how to minimise your impact on the hill, information on good practice and useful organisations
• Hazards and emergency procedures in the hills – how to respond to any hazards you encounter and what to do in a real emergency

Booking on to either the Hill Skills or Mountain Skills course will automatically register with Mountain Training.
