To learn the skills to travel in the mountains under your own steam is to enter a world that will enliven all of your senses, and remain with you for the rest of your life.

We offer a range of navigation courses, hill skills courses and walking holidays from our base in Snowdonia and taking in some of the most beautiful mountains in the world.

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.

Which course?
If you would like to cover the basics of navigation using a map and compass and following linear features such as paths and field boundaries then try our 1 day intro to navigation course.

If you would like to cover more detailed skills to navigate in the mountains and develop your ability to be self sufficient in the mountains of the UK then our two day mountain navigation course will be ideal.

If you have a week and would like to progress to being a confident navigator and happy on grade 1 scrambles then our 5 day navigation and scrambling course is for you.

If you have done lots of hillwalking but would like to brush up your skills and make sure you know what to do if a problem occurs then try our mountain emergency course.

All of our navigation courses allow you to be assessed for NNAS awards.
