The skills you will learn on this course will also apply to those days when the mist, fog and snow come creeping in unexpected during your walk on the hills and moors.

If you are preparing for a walking qualification or permit then this could be the perfect training opportunity to consolidate and practise your poor weather and night nav skills.
