Survival
training in the UK - organised by
the School aim to be innovative. The first objective is to create a
wider understanding of nature and to provide essential knowledge and
skills to sustain and save life. The second objective is to have fun
learning these skills.
Navigation and expedition is undertaken in a mountain forest location
- base camp (tents) Friday night and shelters in the forest Saturday
night (Basic & Advanced) - in our facility centre (indoors) Sunday
night to dry out and prepare for phases 2 and 3 - mountain shelters
Monday night - forest shelters Tuesday and Wednesday night (Advanced).
The
body and mind have a unique ability to cope with challenging and arduous
conditions and it is to this end that the school has developed structured
courses to
provide not only the knowledge and skills to overcome such conditions,
but also to give confidence to those people for whom the world of adventure
is yet to be discovered. There are infinite opportunities and exciting
experiences to be found in the world's remote regions, from the mountains
to the deserts and the jungles to the Poles - the School can provide
the key to open that door.
This course
gives you the opportunity to put your basic mountain skills to the test
in one of Britain's most scenic and demanding locations. You will undertake
navigation and search & rescue exercises in addition to advanced
movement on mountains, including climbing and abseiling the "In-Pinn".
Courses
run annually in the Isle of Skye and are open to anyone over 18 years
of age. All skills covered will have
to be applied throughout the exercise.
This
course is a natural progression from the Basic Mountain Course although
we do accept candidates with basic experience.
The
instructors come from a variety of backgrounds, including the British
Armed Forces. They are experienced leaders and have spent extended periods
of time in extreme climates and remote regions throughout the world.
