The Improver Hillwalking Course is an ideal choice for walkers interested in transferring their walking skills to more challenging terrain. Ideally, participants would have some basic hill walking experience and have a reasonable level of fitness. Courses are run in the higher moorland areas of the UK and Ireland.

Day 2

An Improver Hill Walking course will start with an opportunity to meet the other people on the course and take part in a short planning session with the Tutor. After that you will be out in the moors, moving away from marked paths and into steeper, rockier terrain in order to learn about the differences in weather, navigation and managing risk in more remote environments. The physical effort required on these days will be more demanding than the beginer course and you can expect to be out in the hills for between 5-6 hours. In addition, we may run an evening session that can either be a walk into darkness or an additional teaching session on other elements of the course syllabus.
