HILL SKILLS COURSES in the Brecon Beacons.
Five day breaks covering a wide range of walking skills - including navigation!
Our HILL SKILLS courses are enjoyable, structured walking breaks based in the Brecon Beacons - an ideal area in which to learn and hone your hillwalking skills. They are suitable not only for novice hillwalkers, but also for those with a modicum of previous experience, and particularly for people who are seeking to build their confidence and increase their skill levels in order to take on more challenging walks.
Although the precise content of each course will depend upon the participants and the prevailing weather conditions, the following skills are covered as standard...
- Footwear, clothing and equipment...
- Basic mountain safety and emergency procedures...
- Walking skills - including moving safely on steep ground...
- Map interpretation...
- Poor visibility navigation...
- Route planning and selection...
The training is highly practical, the vast majority of the time being spent outside, walking through the spectacular scenery of the Brecon Beacons National Park.
These courses are based in Crickhowell, and are offered on a non-residential basis allowing you to choose the accommodation option that best suits your preference and budget. There is a wide range of accommodation in the Crickhowell area, and a list of the places we recommend can be found here.
