I’m Jack – a qualified UESCA ultra-running coach and Mountaineering & Climbing Instructor based in the Lake District. I’ve helped runners safely and confidently complete challenges like the Bob Graham Round and Cape Wrath Trail. Whether you’re new to nav or brushing up before a big goal, I’ll meet you where you are.
Ideal for you if: You trail, fell or ultra-run at any pace and want to go off-road safely You’ve never used a map – or just need a proper refresher You’re training for events where self-nav is critical You prefer learning in a small, supportive group with a qualified guide
Trail running kit (waterproofs, spare warm layer, hat & gloves) | Trail shoes with good grip | Food & at least 1 L of water | Compass & map case (spares available if needed) | Your be sent a full packing list 2 weeks before the workshop
What Makes This Course Different? Unlike traditional hillwalking courses, this day is built specifically for runners: We move efficiently between learning points — no standing around for hours The pace is tailored to suit everyone, with run-walk sections where needed You’ll practice real-time nav while running — just like in races or big days out This isn’t just theory — it’s high-impact, hands-on learning that sticks, even when the pressure’s on.
No. This isn’t a fitness test — it’s about learning. We keep the pace comfortable for all.
We’ll cover ground, but it’s not a hammer session. The goal is skill-building, not exhaustion.
Great! Mist and rain are perfect nav conditions. We adapt routes for safety and learning.
Yes – 1:1 and custom small groups are available. Contact me to arrange.
