Sharpen your skills. Build confidence.

If you’ve previously completed your Hill & Moorland Leader (HML) Training or Mountain Leader (ML) Training but feel a little rusty, our HML/ML Navigation Refresher is the perfect way to rebuild confidence and ensure your navigation skills are sharp, reliable and on track for assessment.

At NG Mountaineering, we specialise in developing competent, confident and adaptable navigators. Whether it’s been months or years since your training, this focused refresher will get you back into the mindset, methods and movement skills required of a trained leader.
