Award Description

The Hill and Moorland Leader award is designed for people who want to lead groups in the hill and moorland areas of the UK and Ireland. This award is a wonderful opportunity to learn the leadership skills required to feel confident about taking people out walking. As you may have guessed from the descriptive title of this award, it focuses on non-mountainous terrain.

Get away from the paths and enjoy our wild places as a Hill and Moorland Leader. This qualification is ideal for walkers who want to learn the skills required for effective group leadership in the hill and moorland areas of the UK and Ireland.

Hill and Moorland Leaders operate in terrain that is generally more remote than that used by Lowland Leaders and not as steep or rocky as ground covered by Mountain Leaders.

Hill and Moorland Leaders should be competent in the following key areas, all of which will be covered, to a greater or lesser extent, during your three day training course.

• Walking and Route Finding
• Navigation
• Hazards and Emergency Procedures
• Equipment
• Responsibilities of the Leader
• Group Management
• Access, Conservation and Environmental Knowledge
• Weather

Before you book onto a Hill and Moorland Leader training course, make sure you have done the following:

• You must be registered on the scheme (this is £49 and payable directly to Mountain Training and is seperate to our RAW course fees)
• You must have recorded a minimum of 20 Quality Hillwalking Days on appropriate terrain (these must be recorded on DLOG) which can have taken place at any point (pre- or post-registration)
