The Mountain Leader scheme is designed for those who want to introduce and lead people in the mountains, hills and upland areas of the UK and Ireland. The scheme was established in the 1960s and today Mountain Leaders operate the length and breadth of the country.
Adventure Unlimited has offered Mountain Leader training and assessment courses on behalf of Mountain Training for over twenty years. Our course directors and staff are some of the most experienced trainers in the business with vast experience of providing fun, educational courses throughout the UK mountains.
Mountain Leader Training
Mountain Leader Training courses are run over six days and we run them over three weekends in The Peak District, the Lake District and North Wales respectively. This allows us to get into a wide variety of terrain with each area lending themselves to different parts of the syllabus. The course starts at Hagg Farm Outdoor Education Centre on the Peak District's Snake Pass where we spend two days in the High Peak. The second weekend is the expedition weekend in the Lake District and the final weekend is based in North Wales focusing on leading groups in steeper terrain. All the other aspects of the syllabus are covered alongside these core areas.
