Mountain Leaders offer people an opportunity to explore the UK and Ireland's highest mountains on foot, where spectacular views feed the soul, challenging terrain tests the body and making the right decisions is essential.  Mountain Leaders can also lead walks in hill, moorland and lowland areas.  5 days - 8.30am - 7.30pm with variable start time on Expedition days.
