Spend a half or full day exploring Dartmoor’s hills and moorland with expert guidance. Sessions focus on practical navigation, route planning, and safety awareness, giving you confidence to enjoy walks in the countryside.
Half-day sessions provide a focused introduction to hill and moorland walking. You will practise navigation with map and compass, learn to plan routes, and gain experience moving efficiently across varied terrain. Instructors guide you through hazard awareness, pacing, and adapting to weather conditions.
Full-day sessions extend the learning with longer walks over more varied terrain. Instructors demonstrate practical route planning, hazard management, and effective walking techniques. Participants have ample time to practise navigation, ask questions, and develop confidence on the hills.
Sessions are conducted across Dartmoor, with walking routes chosen to provide safe yet varied experiences. Trails include footpaths and open moorland, giving a realistic sense of hill walking conditions.
Indoor briefing areas at Dartmoor Activity Centre support the start and end of each session. Instructors provide maps and compasses for all walks and ensure participants understand terrain, weather, and safety considerations.
No previous hill walking experience is required. Participants should wear appropriate clothing for the weather and terrain and bring walking boots, water, and personal items.
Maps and compasses are provided, but personal items such as food, drinks, bags, and extra clothing must be supplied by the participant.
