I ended up having a one-to-one one day session with Rachael, as other participants dropped out, so I got a very good personalised day course. Rachael was very informative, enthusiastic and structured the day very well, so I felt I was learning something new at every point in the day. I enjoyed the day so much I went straight out on another walk that afternoon, where I promptly lost my compass, and get lost. But applying what I learned on the course, I quickly identified where I was, where I had gone wrong, and how to get back on track, in about 5 minutes. And I used the walk timing tips to plan a new route back to Bamford station to exactly meet the train my wife was arriving on ! I really enjoyed the course, it is going to be practically useful for me, and I will definitely recommend Pure Outdoor to my walking friends.
