Whether you’re new to the outdoors, returning after a break, or looking to sharpen your skills for bigger adventures, I offer relaxed, practical courses and guided walks across the Black Mountains and beyond.
All sessions are small, personal, and designed around you — with space to learn at your pace, ask questions, and enjoy the landscape.
Learn how to read a map, use a compass, understand the landscape, and make good decisions outdoors. We’ll cover route planning, simple navigation techniques, and how to feel at home in wild places.
You’ll learn:
Who’s it for?
Total beginners or walkers who want to build confidence.
Ideal for regular walkers, creatives, or those wanting to feel more independent in the hills. We’ll move into steeper, open ground, focusing on poor visibility navigation, relocation techniques, and real-world route finding.
You’ll learn:
Who’s it for?
Those with basic experience who want to go further or prep for qualifications.
Brush up before an assessment, revisit compass skills, or build confidence in complex terrain. Whether you’re working towards your Hill & Moorland or Mountain Leader award, or just want to refresh your skills — this is your day.
