The freedom of the Hills is a gift that you want to pass on. Sharing your knowledge and experience with others in a safe and educational way is the name of the game. This could be the start of a new career for you. Good Luck!
The Hill and Moorland Leader scheme is designed for those leading hillwalkers in non-mountainous, upland areas of the UK and Ireland and looks at the leadership skills required to confidently lead walking groups in such areas. The Hill and Moorland Leader is a nationally recognised qualification and is administered by Mountain Training. The award is particularly relevant to teachers, scout leaders and those involved in supervising Duke of Edinburgh expeditions for young people in upland areas of the UK.
The scheme is open to all hillwalkers who are at least eighteen years of age and interested in leading in the hills.
The three-day Hill and Moorland Leader Assessment course is based in the High Peak and assesses competence in the skills needed to lead walking groups in upland areas.
Mountain Training England provider Adventure Unlimited in conjunction with Pure Outdoor is offering the opportunity to participate in a ML Training course based from Pure Outdoor HQ.
