You meet first in Capel Curig for introductions, goals, and kit checks, then move into quieter North Wales hills chosen so you can practise without crowds. Each morning starts with a short briefing on the forecast and the learning focus for the day, then you spend the bulk of your time relocating on the map, choosing lines, and moving with purpose over rough ground. Day one lays foundations: simple relocating, contour reading, and how the ground should match the map. Weather discussion begins early so planning becomes part of every decision, not an afterthought. Day two builds density: denser navigation legs, hiking movement on steeper ground, and a taste of light scrambling where suitable, with river-crossing strategies and clothing or footwear appraisal woven into the day. GPS and altimeter use may be discussed as aids while traditional map and compass skills stay central. Day three consolidates everything on a fuller mountain day with more independent planning. Themes for multi-day hiking, wild camping food and nutrition, and walking poles may appear when they help the group. You finish with a clear debrief and practical next steps for your own hill days in North Wales and beyond, so the skills stick under realistic mountain fatigue rather than only on short practice loops. ⭐ Why Choose Us Courses are led by qualified mountaineers who teach on the hill rather than in a classroom. Ratios stay at a maximum of six clients to one instructor so navigation and movement coaching stays personal, with time to correct habits before they become hard to unlearn. Teaching is practical and condition-led across quieter North Wales ground. You get clear kit guidance in advance, honest feedback during the days, and a course shape that builds from foundations to consolidation so you leave better prepared for longer independent hill trips. ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included Qualified mountaineer instructor across the full course Outdoor coaching on navigation, movement, and mountain decision making Forecast briefings and quieter venue choice matched to the group Personal feedback within a maximum 6:1 teaching ratio ### What’s not included Transport to and from daily meeting points Accommodation Personal clothing, boots, map, and compass Food, drink, and parking ### Kit list Weather clothing and sturdy hill footwear Packed lunch and drinks each day Hill kit and day sack OS map OL17 and a reliable compass Pen or pencil and a small notebook ## FAQs ### Who is the 3 day hill skills course for? This course suits adults who already have some hill or mountain hiking experience and want structured coaching on navigation, movement, and decision making. All abilities can be tailored, including prep for altitude treks, but prior days on foot help you get the most from the teaching. You should be ready for consecutive full mountain days on quieter North Wales ground in changeable summer weather. ### Where do we meet? The initial meeting point is Capel Curig, with a map reference shared in joining instructions. Daily venues then move into quieter North Wales locations chosen for the skills focus and conditions. Base yourself nearby so early starts remain practical across all three days. ### What will I learn? Expect map and compass navigation, GPS and altimeter awareness, mountain weather appraisal, hiking and a little scrambling, river crossing strategies, multi-day hike planning basics, clothing and footwear appraisal, and wild camping food and nutrition themes. Walking poles may be taught when useful. All days are mountain days in quieter venues rather than classroom sessions. ### What kit do I need? Bring weather-ready clothing and footwear, a packed lunch and drinks, hill kit, OS map OL17, a compass such as a Silva Type 4 or 54, and a pen or pencil with a notebook for notes. Sturdy boots and waterproofs matter more than brand names; follow any extra kit notes in your joining instructions. ### Is accommodation included? Accommodation is not included. Capel Curig, Betws-y-Coed, and nearby villages are the usual bases within a short drive of quieter North Wales venues. Book flexible lodging for three nights so early starts stay realistic if venues shift with the forecast. ### What fitness is required? You need fitness for consecutive full mountain days with hiking, navigation practice, and some light scrambling. The pace is instructional, but cumulative fatigue across three days is real. Prior summer hill days are the best preparation before adding denser navigation and route-choice coaching. ### What if the weather is poor? Instructors choose quieter venues from the forecast each morning and may adapt the plan if conditions deteriorate. Teaching still aims to cover core skills outdoors whenever it is safe to do so. The team will be in touch if a day needs to change for safety reasons. Personal travel insurance is recommended. ### Is food included? Food is not included. Bring packed lunches, snacks, and drinks for every mountain day so you stay fuelled while practising skills on the move. Evening meals are your own arrangement in local villages after each day. ### What is the group size? Maximum ratio is six clients to one instructor so coaching stays personal on navigation, scrambling, and river-crossing practice. Smaller groups also keep movement safer on rougher ground. Live availability shows how many spaces remain on your date. ### Is transport included? Transport to daily meeting points is not included. You need your own vehicle or arrangements to reach Capel Curig and any follow-on venues each morning. Budget for parking where required, and share cars within your party when that simplifies early starts across the course. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://wp.adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/IMG_0972-scaled.jpg - **Gallery image count**: 4 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
