Mountain Lynx Adventures is delighted to offer the following Course
Mountain Training Hills Skills Course.
Location – Three Peaks Bunkhouse, Horton in Ribblesdale, BD240HB
Cost - £140 pp (includes 1 night bunkroom style accommodation)
The course will cover:-
Planning – how to successfully plan a hill walk.
Walking skills – what things should you consider while out walking and what can make life easier (pace, nutrition, movement skills etc.).
Clothing and equipment – being suitably dressed and equipped can make the difference between a great day out and a complete disaster.
Weather – how it affects the hills and your day out.
Navigation in the hills – everything from selecting a compass to navigation strategies.
Environmental knowledge – how to minimise your impact on the hill and information on good practice and useful organisations.
Hazards and emergency procedures in the hills – how to respond to any hazards you encounter and what to do in an emergency.
During a Hill Skills course, you can expect to start each day at 9am.
The first part of the course is spent indoors, getting to know the other people on the course and gaining an understanding of basic hill walking planning.
Your experienced tutor will outline the plans for the course before you head out into the hills. The end of the day will usually involve a short indoor session to review the day and plan the following day's outing.
You can expect to be out walking each day for around 4-5 hours and generally on Hill Skills courses this will be on footpaths or trails that are rough underfoot. Much of the journey during the course will involve learning opportunities and as such, the pace of the day is friendly and will include plenty of breaks.
Following the course you will also receive
Hill Skills course benefits:
15% off at Cotswold Outdoor and Snow+Rock.
A copy of the Safety on Mountains book.
A navigational timing card.
A certificate of attendance.
Lifetime use of the Mountain Training digital logbook (DLOG) for recording your walks
