Mountain Aid is a trail blazer in providing FREE safety and skills training to outdoor enthusiasts in Scotland. Our ethos has always been - free, nothing, not a penny. We believe that your enhanced knowledge to keep you safe on the hill should not be dictated by financial circumstances. Although free to attend these courses are always delivered by fully qualified and insured professionals. This is possible due to the generosity of our fundraisers raising funds and our course providers in offering us good deals.
Confidence with Navigation
'Confidence With Navigation' is a short practical course designed to replace, re-vitalise and revise rusty or gaps in your map and compass work with tips, skills and real-time practice. This course will help you get more out of your hill days and add to your lifetime's enjoyment and safety in moorland, hill and mountain walking.
The course is aimed at hill walkers who have previously been guided on their ventures, but want to develop the skill and confidence to proceed on Scottish hills without depending on others. The course provides a safe environment for developing these skills.
Our provider will contact you prior to the course with the assembly point and a list of items you will require on the day of the course.
