An absolutely excellent two days. Sam paced it really well, developing our skills and confidence as we went. From being unsure if Mountain leader really was for me, I left this course feeling a lot more confident and looking forward to practising my skills more.

Had a fantastic day on Sam’s
Mountain Leader pre assessment navigation course. Sam has a great coaching style and so many useful tips and strategies for sharpening up your micro navigation skills.

Looking to gain assurance my navigational skills were where they needed to be ahead of ML assessment I arranged a refresher with Sam at Lake District Mountaineering. More familiar with Scotland's mountains but some familiarity with Lakeland terrain it was a bit of a roll of the dice, that I did and came up with 6's all day long. Sam's approach before and during the course was nothing short of professional with coaching style superbly paced, energy, enthusiasm and knowledge clear and concise at all times, he even organised for the weather gods to provide vast quantites of clag to really test us. Highly recommended with *****

I done map and compass refresher with Sam. I learned a lot of new skills that day, Sam explained everything in detail and is very patient. He will not move on until you're happy. I will definitely be booking onto more workshops/courses with him in the future.

I highly recommend the Mountain Skills Course with Lake District Mountaineering to all; Sam was super professional and highly informative!
Dearly hard to find businesses (in this sector) who truly care regarding their course participants' best needs but these guys go all out.
