Hill & Mountain
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!
