• This course is suitable for accomplished hill-walkers with good navigation skills. Full training and guidance will be given during the day.
• All walks are tailored specifically for each group according to your needs, aspirations, experience and fitness levels. However, a good  level of fitness is required as the natural environment can be demanding at times.
• We usually cover around 6 to 8 miles over the course of the day, and there will be plenty of rest stops to learn new skills. The terrain we will be walking across will include uneven ground, rough terrain, stiles, stream crossings, open moorland (including heather), hills and open country tracks and lanes, as well as a number of ascents and descents; we may experience adverse weather conditions.
• We are fully insured (public, civil & professional indemnity insurance)
• All of our instructors are fully qualified and experienced Mountain Leaders
• So far, we have taken over 17,000 people out walking, and have a wealth of experience dealing with all ages and abilities.
• Part of the attraction of valley, hill and mountain walking is the challenge of tackling different terrains, landscapes and weather conditions. Every effort is made to minimize potential hazards; however, the very nature of hill and mountain walking involves a certain level of unavoidable risk of accident and/or injury. By taking part in this activity, you are aware of and accept these risks.
• Our courses are suitable for all ages. Under 18s (minimum age 14) may attend if accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. The child must be accompanied at all times during the activity by their parent/legal guardian.
