Who We Are
Highly qualified and experienced outdoor enthusiast.
I'm Ross. I've been exploring the great outdoors for over 40 years starting in my youth through Scouting and the CCF. Having chaired the Hiking Club at University I have maintained an active interest in the outdoors and have enjoyed walking many long distance footpaths (including SWCP, WHW and Great Glen Way to name 3) and have climbed over 200 mountains in the UK including Muntos and Wainwrights.
As a qualified NNAS Tutor I can provide training in navigation using map and compass to help you feel confident and safe. See below course for a typical outline of what to expect to learn.
Prices start from £40 pp - drop me a note.
