This course provides an ideal opportunity to learn the essentials and deepen your enjoyment of the countryside.

What will you learn?

  • Planning and preparation: Learn how to effectively plan your walks, taking into account factors such as distance, terrain, weather, and personal capabilities.

  • Movement skills: Learn how to move efficiently and safely over different types of terrain, including steep ground and rough paths.
