Skills
Last Saturday I attended Kelly’s beginner navigation course and it’s one I would highly recommend. Kelly’s approach was relaxed and informal which meant we could easily ask questions. I class myself as a total beginner so learnt a lot that day and was also lovely to meet like minded women. Kelly was super patient and knowledgable and afterwards sent through some valuable additional resources via email. We talked about a future course with her focussed on night nav and poor vis which I will definitely be taking her up on ✌🏻 Thanks Kelly!

Guided Mountain Days
Classic guided mountain days around the Snowdonia National Park. These are cherry picked circular routes that take in the beauty and tranquility of the area. These are mostly non-technical routes so no lengthy scrambling is expected. These are long and leisurely mountain days and will require suitable footwear and a good level of fitness. Walking speed is determined by the slower of parties and I always promote a relaxed and chilled pace to keep the group days inclusive. Please book a bespoke date if you wish to be guided at your own pace!
