Map Reading Plus - RWIAD

04 Jul 2009 - £120
** USA Independance Day**

'Right Way In A Day'is the original map reading fast-track training course.

Drawing on real-world experience combined with cutting edge teaching techniques means this course is guaranteed! We guarantee that you will significantly increase your skills on this course - regardless of where you are starting from.

RWIAD map reading and navigation training is entirely practical and we are very careful to progress at the speed which is most appropriate to you.

As a minimum, we would predict a complete beginner would be able to confidently plan and follow routes in the hills...without the need of paths!
More experienced navigators can progress right up to Mountain Marathon standard of orienteering, blind compass work, 3-D routefinding in the mountains, etc.

Although it's impossible to teach everything in a day, we will certainly help you to reach 'the next level'

The Survival Experience - one of a kind!

25 Jul 2009 - £390
Are you ready for this challenging four day survival course?

You will put your new survival skills into practice in our unique exercise phase, finding yourself in an emergency scenario which only you and your fellow delegates can get out of. The course will follow a format of 2 days instruction, then 2 days practical.

The Nice Bit.
The instructional phase takes place in a private wood near the village of Talybont on Usk. Wildlife is abundant and we may have the opportunity to observe the resident Badgers as they hunt and play. There is ample diversity here to allow all of the survival skills to be taught and practised, and best of all - there are full facilities - Yes - Hot Showers the lot! This is where we return to after the exercise phase to make ourselves human again.

The Tough Bit.
The 2 day exercise phase will involve a lot of walking, and not much in the way of food or shelter. Rain, Sun, Midges, Mud and not much sleep is probably what you will get (sounds like Glastonbury). THIS IS REALITY, and it will only last for 2 days. Afterwards you'll have an insight into yourself that you could never get from the sofa! Think of all those treats you'll deserve.

But remember - only download the pdf or phone if you think you can cope with 4 days 'in the field'. We'll be looking after you, of course, but it may still feel a bit tough (especially if the weather is wet). You need to be physically fit.
