Skills and confidence
This fabulous walk will give you the opportunity to learn or develop your map and compass skills, while out in a stunning area of the South Downs. There will be plenty of stops to introduce the skills and time for you to practice along the way, whilst also connecting with others and being in nature.
You need moderate fitness, meaning you are happy to be on undulating terrain with a few stiles and a couple of short but steep uphill and downhill sections. We walk at a comfortable pace – it’s not an endurance test! Once you sign up, you will be sent further details of the event.
Simply mention 'YHA Truleigh Hill, 21st September' in the contact form.
This walk is in partnership with YHA's Festival of Walking - view other social walks.
