"It is not the mountain we conquer but ourselves"
Whether you're trying the trail for the first time, or you're a bit more experienced, there are lots of way that you can keep growing in confidence. Here are links to a few resources / support services we're found to be really useful.
We often get asked to advise on the basic skills required to get out into nature safely. We've included a couple of links below to training programmes that we think are ideal - either because they've been recommended to us, or because we've completed them ourselves. If you have any queries feel free to get in touch and we'll answer if we can. Every training recommendation comes with a link to the relevant site.
