Navigation Courses, Guided Mountain Walks
and Hill Walking Qualifications

We offer a range of navigation courses, hill walking courses and mountain skills
courses and holidays in Snowdonia and taking in some of the most beautiful
mountains in the world. To learn the skills to travel in the mountains under your
own steam through mountain navigation is to enter a world that will enliven all of
your senses, and remain with you for the rest of your life. Navigation skills form the
foundation for all journeys in the mountains. Taking the time to learn how to use a
map and compass and having the confidence to navigate in poor visibility will open
up a world of opportunity for hill walkers, rock climbers and mountaineers alike.
