The Lowland Leader Award is a nationally accredited scheme developed and administered by the five Mountain Training boards across the UK and Ireland.
The award is designed to train and assess those who wish to lead groups on day walks in lowland countryside and woodland in summer conditions.
View DetailsThe Lowland Leader qualification has been designed for people who wish to lead groups on day walks in lowland countryside and woodland in summer conditions.
The majority of the UK and Ireland is made up of this type of terrain so you’ll never be short of places to go walking.
The leadership opportunities for Lowland Leaders are varied and far reaching, from the South West Coast Path to the Great Glen Way; walking in lowland areas can be no less spectacular than walking high up in the mountains.
And with campaigns such as Britain on Foot and Walking for Health proving really popular, there’s never been a better time to be a walking leader.
This award complements and supports the other walking awards administered by Mountain Training – the Hill and Moorland Leader Award (formerly the Walking Group Leader Award) and the Mountain Leader Award. For further information on these awards and the Mountain Training climbing awards please see www.mountain-training.org
A further two day Expedition Skills Module is available for those who wish to lead and supervise overnight expeditions. The module also covers remote supervision and teaching navigation. For more information please go to www.mountain-training.org/qualifications/walking/expedition-skills-module
