Training for Leaders
We offer Walking Group Leader (WGL) and Mountain Leader (ML) courses for groups and individuals, and can design other training courses to match your specific needs.
Expedition Planning and Support
We can also deliver expedition training days / weekends to prepare young people for their expedition, advise on routes and equipment and assist with the remote supervision of groups whilst undertaking their expedition. Training can be based at Thornbridge Outdoors or at another location if appropriate.
