October Half Term 2025 is coming up fast.

If you are planning to visit The Lake District, then now is the time to think about booking an adventure in the outdoors - that's what The Lake District is famous for! 

We will be running one of our famous Navigation Skills Training Weekends during October 25th & 26th. So if you are coming to the area and are hoping to spend the week fell-walking but feel you lack the necessary skills to use a map & compass then this course is for you.

For just £90.00 for the weekend course (Yes - you did read correctly!) You can join in with others and in a relaxed but real setting, learn about how to interpret information on the map. You'll also learn how to measure & pace distance , take & walk on a compass bearing and find grid references plus much more! Maps are provided as part of the fee, you'll need a Silva Type 4 Expedition Compass or you can hire them from use for just £5 per day.
