MOUNTAIN NAVIGATION COURSES 2008

Mountain navigation is a crucial skill to gain before venturing into the hills and mountains of Britain. It is a statistical fact that the root cause of most accidents in the hills stems from poor or no navigational skills.

We have a one day and a two day navigation course on offer through out the year. How about brushing up on those navigational techniques on a refresher course too? The hills and mountains around Loch Tay are perfect terrain for navigation training.
