Hills Training Weekend

14th-16th March 2025

(Over 18's Only Training event)


This March sees the return of the Districts Hills Training weekend in the Brecon Beacons.


This is a fantastic opportunity for all over 18s in Gravesham who wish to work towards gaining a hills based permit within the Scouts or even a National Governing Body Qualification.

Which way?

The weekend is a mixture of practical and theoretical learning both on the hills and in the ‘classroom’. Over the course of the event the following areas are covered (but not limited to!);


  • General Navigation

  • Pacing and timing

  • Micro Nav

  • Ropework

  • Weather

  • Flora & Fauna

  • Water Crossings

  • And much more!


Being a weekend is led by a team of qualified Mountain Leaders, with years of experience between them, this isn’t an opportunity to be missed!


Heading off on Friday 14th March from Hopehill at 6pm via minibus(es), this time around we will be staying at Llangorse Multi Activity Centre, in their indoor accommodation and we will be centrally catering breakfasts and dinners throughout the weekend. Our return will be around 6pm on Sunday 16th.


Spaces are limited, and at a cost of JUST £40 per participant, we expect places to go quickly! So don’t hesitate to book your place, as it is first come, first served!


Any questions, please feel free to email me at dave.norris@graveshamscouts.org.uk



Please note this weekend is a training course only, no permits will be assessed for as part of the weekend.
