We will continue to monitor the public health guidance and also any feedback from other service providers. If the situation changes then we may have to defer/cancel courses to avoid endangering course participants, staff and the public.

Mountain Skills 2 builds on the foundation skills covered on Mountain Skills 1. It covers using a compass along with the map, navigating at night and in poor visibility and moving safely over steep ground. This course is accredited by the Mountain Training Board of Ireland (the new all Ireland mountain training body) and is usually delivered through two days tuition in an upland environment.

Our team are qualified Mountain Leaders, holding appropriate outdoor first aid certification. Instruction groups are a maximum of 6 participants to each instructor, enabling us to facilitate maximum learning for each participant. Participants should have attended a Mountain Skills 1 course and have had some experience practicing the skills gained there before attending this course.

Price for tuition is €160 per participant. Participants must arrange to get to the venue and will need to bring adequate food and water for a day on the hill each day. There is a lot of learning packed into the two days and on Saturday we will need to be on the hill for a few hours after darkness falls to practice navigating in the dark.
