Find Your Way
I have co-developed two types of navigation course.
‘Beginners Navigation‘ which covers the basics of map reading, timing and navigation and is designed to build confidence in exploring the outdoors in a fun, educational and inspiring way. There is a short teaching session followed time spent practicing and learning outdoors, on a route somewhere in the beautiful Welsh countryside.
Send an enquiry if you would like me to run a course for you and your friends.
‘Improvers Navigation‘ consolidates what has been learned at beginners level and builds in additional skills such as compass use, planning a route, and grid references. It is designed to show you how to navigate off the hills in poor visibility and stay safe. This course also has a short initial teaching session followed by outdoor navigation practice.

Weave and Walk
A lot is packed into this enjoyable 1 day course. The morning is relaxing, creative and mindful and the afternoon is energising !
In the morning you will learn about fleece, how to process it and then how to weave your own outdoor sit-mat on a peg loom, using raw fleece from my own or my neighbours flocks.
Fleece sit mats are a sustainable, warm and cosy alternative to using plastic mats – a must for anyone who is out in the hills, especially on cold, damp days….
After lunch we take the mats with us on a scenic hike around the local area.
I can run this course in any suitable venue for you and a group of friends, colleagues or neighbours. Minimum group size needed is 5.
Walking Confidence
A 6-week programme to help rusty or worried walkers get back out there. Meeting once a week, each walk lasts around 2 hours and every week there will be a new challenge such as stiles, hills or uneven terrain. The aim is to gently increase confidence and fitness of the group so that by the end of 6 weeks they feel able to plan and undertake their own walks. Tips, navigation basics and advice will be built into the walk.
I can run this course for suitable groups – get in touch for more information .
