If you're planning to venture into high, technical terrain and want to sharpen your advanced mountain skills—such as route finding, efficient movement, and navigating challenging landscapes—consider connecting with the British Mountaineering Council (BMC).
The BMC is the representative body for hill walkers, climbers and mountaineers across England and Wales. Each year, they offer free guided walks, some of which explore the most remote and dramatic landscapes in the Lake District.
