Hill Walking
Navigation courses tailored to you
Looking to brush up your navigation skills for the summer?
Rather than split our courses across traditional beginners, intermediate and advanced lines, we have turned navigation training on its head with courses matched to the terrain you walk in.
So if you're a lowland rambler we have our Farms & Fields course, if forested hills and valleys are your thing try Forests & Features and for summit baggers we think Mountains & Moors might fit the bill.
New guided walks & scrambles
The route gurus here at Astounding Adventures HQ have been working hard to come up with some interesting and challenging guided walks and scrambles in The Lake District and Snowdonia for the Spring and Summer season.
More are being added all the time so please check back regularly to see what's on offer.
