Our most comprehensive course ever - get new skills and qualifications, combined with a mini-expedition across our homeland in the beautiful Lake District.
You will learn and get to practice practical navigation skills, camp craft for a range of environments including mountains and jungle, bushcraft skills, risk management and first aid.
By the end of the week you will come out with a two day Outdoor First Aid certificate certified by ITC, an expedition planning and leadership certificate, through IOL, as well as lots of practical skills, a few laughs and some new friends.
The course combines a relaxed and enjoyable week, with packing in a wide range of new skills. So we'll combine formal classroom sessions on first aid, with practical assessments, informal teaching in the field with nights out in the field, practical journeys and real life challenges, with a pint and camp fire cup of tea.
