Mountain Leader Courses

Quality Training & Assesment in The Lake District

Combine the expertise and dedication put into every Mountain Sense course with the mountains of The Lake District and you can be assured of the best possible training. This course is based on the syllabus set out by Mountain Training and the particular needs of candidates.

We will cover skills and techniques required when leading groups hill walking and wild camping in the UK mountains. Our highly enjoyable course includes navigation, group management, leading on steep ground, risk assessment and emergency use of the rope. Consideration of the weather, mountain rescue, the environment and other related topics will also be covered. The majority of the course is practical and we also include some theory sessions in the evenings which will be interactive and lively.
