    I helped out at Kettlewell earlier this year and will be back next I hope. Can't do the latest course as I'm guiding up in Scotland.
    But to answer your question yes good course at a fantastic price run by Many a good navigator, good fun had by all. Go for it.

    I went on the last kettlewell one and would highly recommend the course. Great tutors and good company. I knew how to navigate but was very rusty and I learnt a lot.

    Well the instructors enjoy it............and, so far, at least one participant has (and we didn't pay him to say so). Who will we see this weekend?
    A circular route mostly downhill
