Have been on a couple of organised walks with Phil. A great way to de-stress and unwind, enjoy a walk at a relaxed pace in a friendly group of people. He even shares his Haribo’s. (Other brands are available).
Phill has helped me develop my own confidence walking by myself in different areas with his reassurance that I have the ability. I feel extremely proud to be part of Phills Venture!
Typically we offer these courses throughout the Brecon Beacons, and areas of Snowdonia, however many times location may depend on weather & conditions.
Our Hill Skills course is considerd to be slightly more relaxed, keeping at a slower pace and planning movement along calmer terrain.
Whereas our Mountain Training will require steering away from the marked paths and venturing to the steeper rockier terrain, experiencing more crtiical and fast decision making processes.
No.
You’ll never have to start at one course and work your way up.
Each course can be produced for an individual or group of people at any skill level.
However keep in mind, the beginner navigation courses are designed to allow for more time in teaching aspects such as map reading, compass use and critical planning time. The more advanced courses and navigational experiences will require more work, so be prepared.
