Mountaineering

These courses include an introduction to basic skills to enable the participant appreciate the fundamentals of looking after oneself in the hills. The courses, mostly based on the hill, will also use short back-up sessions covering navigation, equipment, safety issues and mountain hazards. The week long course will visit more mountain areas, and will cover more ground in every respect. No previous experience is required for these courses
