Take your hiking skills to the next level this winter. #MakeWinterCount is back again to help you stride out into the winter hills and mountains with confidence. We will be running three events this year, with in person lectures in London and Manchester, running alongside a virtual event hosted on zoom.
This event is brilliant for anyone who wants to learn more about winter hill and mountain skills. You'll go from bumbling about to striding with confidence to the summit after you've gained all the knowledge from our experts Sam Leary and Mick Jones.
