Navigation courses provide the essential skills for safely finding your way in the outdoors, whether you are just starting out or looking to refine your skills.

Advanced Navigation (Two-Day Course)
The advanced course is aimed at individuals who wish to master navigation in complex terrain and poor visibility. This session includes techniques for navigating in remote areas and introduces electronic navigation tools. You’ll also explore comprehensive navigation strategies, equipping you with the skills to handle more difficult environments confidently.
These courses take place in some of the UK’s most scenic and challenging environments as the Brecon Beacons National Park. Each location is chosen for its diverse terrain, providing the perfect setting to develop and test your navigation skills in a real-world environment. Alternative venues can be arranged to suit your preferences or specific needs.
For the advanced courses, an understanding of map reading and compass use is recommended. All participants should be in good physical health and prepared to spend a full day outdoors, regardless of weather conditions.
Scott, the instructor, has taken part in expeditions overseas, gaining valuable personal experience in a range of environments, including Norway, Sweden, New Zealand, Nepal, and Iceland. His background as a firefighter and frontline medical responder further enhances his ability to teach practical and safety-focused navigation skills. With qualifications as Winter Mountain Leader, Summer Mountain Leader and Rock Climbing Instructor, Scott has a deep understanding of what it takes to navigate in diverse environments and is passionate about sharing this knowledge with others.
By joining these courses, you’ll benefit from expert guidance in a small group setting, ensuring individual attention and tailored instruction. Scott’s goal is to empower you with the skills and confidence to take on any terrain, whether you’re hiking your first mountain or planning your next adventure.

All instruction is provided within the scope of qualification, along with any specialist or technical equipment required for the course. This includes maps and compasses for navigation courses.
If you have your own technical equipment, you are welcome to bring it, especially for skills courses, as it is beneficial to become familiar with your own kit. Any equipment provided is loaned at the participant's responsibility, and loss or damage may be chargeable.

Your guide will be in touch after booking to discuss the details.
Outdoor activities naturally involve some level of risk, which cannot be entirely removed without affecting the experience.
While every effort is made to ensure safety, participants must assess whether they are comfortable with the level of risk involved.
Participants must be 18 or older. Under 18s may take part but must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian, who will be responsible for them at all times.
If you are booking for a family or mixed-age group, ask the team before you book so the day can be planned around everyone taking part.
The advanced course is designed for those who want to master navigation in difficult terrain and poor visibility. It covers techniques for navigating remote areas, using electronic navigation tools, and finding your way in adverse weather.
You will also work through complete navigation strategies for short and long routes in challenging environments, so you leave more confident in remote or foggy ground.
We had an incredible day with Scott sea cliff climbing in Swanage. He was a kind, personable and thoughtful instructor who was led by our needs and skill levels. He provided all the equipment we needed and took the time to answer our (many) questions about outdoor climbing. Cannot recommend…
