This course is designed specifically for Rambling and walking Groups and their leaders.

It covers typical incidents that are likely to happen.

Introduction

This course is designed specifically for ramblers and walkers, generally not too far from civilisation. It covers typical injuries that might be sustained on a walk, but without the Workplace requirements. It is not suitable for more vigorous activities, or for activities off the beaten track, for which our 16 hour Outdoor Pursuits course would be more suited. Leaders meeting NGB requirements should also consider the 16 hour Outdoor Pursuits course.
