What is CPD and why is it important?

CPD means continued professional/personal development. For qualified and aspirant leaders it helps to keep your skills fresh and demonstrate to others (including employers) that you are passionate about good practice, good standards and professionalism.

It's something you might also think about doing for your own personal growth and safety, whether you're heading out as a leader or an individual.

CPD might be reading and listening to books, heading out with friends to practise night nav or attending a workshop. Workshops are great spaces to share skills, ask questions and reflect on previous experiences.

We offer CPD workshops for both personal and professional development, these include:

🌼🐦Environmental workshops
🏥Advanced/Expedition First Aid
🏥Outdoor First Aid
🧗Problem Solving and Self-Rescue for climbers
🌄 ML/HML nav refresher
🧭NNAS tutor award
💪Understanding Fear and Anxiety in your clients

How was your half term?

We trained 3 cohorts of Hill and Moorland Leaders, a cohort of CWDIs and a group of NNAS Gold navigators.

We enjoyed rain and shine on our Peak District Guided walking holiday whilst Claire and James opted for guaranteed sun in Finale Ligure (Italy).

Alex found fungi in the woods, Hati found a particularly interesting owl pellet and Chris found a Violet Oil Beetle.

Most importantly, no sandwiches were eaten by sheep (which was on the cards from a little while). 🥪🐑

What can you expect from our Toubkal Winter Mounta

What can you expect from our Toubkal Winter Mountaineering week?

A quick winter hit, featuring easily accessible high alpine walking, inspiring mountains, and the warm welcoming Berber culture.
You’ll be with one of our core team, accompanied by a local english speaking guide. You’ll start by refreshing and refining winter skills before exploring the 4000m peaks around our high mountain refuge.

Generally our itinerary is flexible (according to the weather - as always!) but you can expect something that looks like this…

Day 1 - Arrive Marrakech and transfer to Imlil (approx 2 hours). Overnight in gîte.
Day 2 – Acclimatisation trek in mountains surrounding Imlil. Overnight in gîte.
Day 3 – Ascend to refuge at 3207m. A slow walk that takes between 5-7 hours depending on conditions. Mules and porters will carry the group’s equipment and we’ll stay overnight at the refuge.
Day 4 – Winter skills refresher and acclimatisation. Another night in the refuge.
Day 5 – Climb Toubkal or another 4000m peak. Another night in the refuge.
Day 6 – Another day of winter fun. Toubkal if not climbed yesterday or another summit eg Ras n’ Ouanoukrim (4088m), Timesguida (4088m) and plenty of others! Return to Imlil.
Day 7 – Transfer to Marrakech in the morning with an afternoon at leisure to explore Marrakech. Overnight in a hotel.
Day 8 – Transfer to airport and fly home. Often our flights are in the early afternoon allowing us to further explore Marrakech before our flight.

Our Rock Climbing Camps are a summer holiday highl

Our Rock Climbing Camps are a summer holiday highlight, running throughout July and August for young people aged 14 - 17.

🧗Every year new cohorts of young climbers join us to climb, boulder, camp and build friendships with new climbing partners ready for the next adventure. The Peak District is a climbing hub with some of the best crags, boulders and routes in the country.

⛺The camp is residential at a campsite (with hot showers) at the base of Stanage Edge in the Peak District. All food is provided by us and prepared by the young people under our supervision. Our instructors are on site at all times, making this an ideal first camp experience for young people.

🚄The camp runs from Monday - Friday and young people can get here by train to Hathersage or get dropped off.

Learn more about our Rock Camp and Advanced Rock Camp on our website.

We recently ran our first Managing Fear of Heights

We recently ran our first Managing Fear of Heights course in collaboration with psychologist, therapist and coach @davidfongpsychology . Rather than wax lyrical about how it went we thought we'd share some feedback from participants instead.

For some it might be a reluctance to use an escalator, for others, it might be that burning desire to conquer that rocky ridge – if only it wasn’t so steep… It doesn’t matter what your starting point is...

Our Managing Your Fear of Heights course is about understanding fear as a completely natural and appropriate response and learning how to manage the irrational element and celebrate the rational – it keeps us safe!

Our next course runs on Saturday 13 - Sunday 14 September. Learn more about it on our website (link in bio).

In the last week we have trained not one, but THREE cohorts of Lowland Leaders who are now going into their period of consolidation (reflective practice) to prepare for their assessments.

The Lowland Leader qualification is designed for people who wish to lead groups on day walks in lowland countryside and woodland in summer conditions, ideal for supervisors of DofE expeditions and health and yoga walk leaders.
