You do not need any previous navigation or "off trail" walking experience as this course is tailored to the abilities of the group on the day, however a basic level of walking fitness will be required.
The day will be flexible in its structure, with routes suitable for the groups current abilities plus the weather and conditions underfoot, allowing plenty of opportunities to explore the local surroundings, look at our maps, enjoy the day out on the moors, and share, discuss and develop any existing skills.
We try to be as accessible as possible, however, if you have any mobility issues or otherwise it is best to share this with us as soon as possible so we can try to make any reasonable adjustments necessary.
*Under 18's must be accompanied by a participating responsible adult. Max of 3 under 18's to 1 adult.
We shall provide all necessary navigation tools and equipment for the day, however you are welcome to bring your own maps and compass if you own them.
