Hill Walking |
Whilst you're certain to learn some new skills on any one of our holidays, these dedicated training courses will teach you the techniques, and help you to develop the skills and the confidence, needed to go walking independently. The courses are generally run on Exmoor or Dartmoor, although we will happily run them other areas such as Snowdonia too, if requested. mountains+moor are a National Navigation Award Scheme provider. If desired, students on our 2-day navigation courses will have the opportunity to be assessed under this scheme. No dates are given as all these courses are run upon request. The prices quoted are per person, for a minimum of two people. Please enquire if you would prefer the benefits of one-to-one tuition. |

Compact Camera - Big Results |
In many ways, compact cameras (both film and digital) are ideal for outdoor activities, but sometimes the results can be disappointing. Generally, the trade off for having a lightweight camera is less control over the picture taking process... ...however, if you understand what the camera is trying to do, there are ways in which you can wrestle control back! Dates: Upon request (minimum 2 persons) Previous Experience: None required. |
