Navigation Training & Outdoor Skills

Build confidence with expert-led navigation training in the UK.

Do you love walking in the countryside but lack confidence to head into the mountains on your own? At F.E.R.N Outdoor Adventures C.I.C, we offer navigation training courses designed to build your skills, confidence, and independence.

Our bespoke courses are tailored to your ability and goals. With step-by-step guidance, you’ll learn how to safely plan routes, read maps, and navigate wild country terrain. By the end, you’ll have the confidence to enjoy a full day out in the hills or mountains, knowing you can find your way safely.

We also provide mountain bike navigation training. Join us on local forest and cross-country trails to learn the essential skills you need to explore further and return home safely.

Outdoor Adventure Training Course Options

At Fern Outdoor Adventures, we offer a range of courses tailored to different goals and experience levels. Whether you want to gain confidence on the hills, improve safety on the trails, or prepare for a big challenge, our courses are designed to help you succeed.

On-Foot Navigation Training

This course is ideal for walkers and hikers who want to explore the UK’s hills and moorlands with confidence. You’ll learn map reading, compass use, and safe route planning, along with practical techniques for navigating in poor weather or low visibility. By the end, you’ll be ready to enjoy the outdoors independently and safely.

MTB Navigation Training

For mountain bikers, we provide training focused on reading maps, using GPS, and planning routes that match your ability. We also look at decision-making on trails so you can ride further, explore new areas like the North York Moors or Lake District, and enjoy every adventure without fear of getting lost.

Wild Camping & Expedition Skills

Our wild camping courses combine navigation with overnight experiences. You’ll learn how to plan multi-day routes, choose safe campsites, and develop essential campcraft and low-impact outdoor skills. Perfect for Duke of Edinburgh’s Award, personal adventures, or longer expeditions.

Fundraising & Challenge Events

We also prepare individuals and teams for big events such as the Yorkshire 3 Peaks, the Coast-to-Coast, and bespoke charity challenges. Training focuses on navigation, endurance, and teamwork, helping you build the confidence and skills needed for a successful and memorable experience.
