Description

For each event, our Fell Top Assessor will guide you on a route up the mountain, chosen according to snow and weather conditions and the ability of the group members, and will teach you the basic skills of snow craft you need for safe winter walking in the fells and mountains of the UK. The day promises to be strenuous, informative, challenging, but also a lot of fun.

A Private Helvellyn Winter Skills Group Course is also available, visit the Lake District National Park website for more details.
