Feedback

"Jen was extremely knowledgeable, and could put across the navigation principles very well. Her keen-ness and enthusiasm for the subject were well in evidence, and this made the course very enjoyable for me.

I had 100% confidence in her ability right from the start, and trusted her implicitly. Not only did I learn a lot of navigation skills, I had a great couple of days on the fells in very good company. Thanks to Jen for a really enjoyable experience. 10/10."

"Andy was very friendly and easy-going.He kept the course on track, and was able to present the information clearly.If it wasn’t understood first, second or third time, he was very patient at explaining and clarifying wherever necessary."

"I’m not sure how the course could be improved, it was excellent, and I am very pleased. Particular good points were the instructor’s patience and willingness to wait while I worked things out. Patience with questions, and general approachability. I always felt as though I could ask if I didn’t understand something.

Andy was helpful and friendly at all times, whilst being very professional in his teaching. I would recommend Lupine to anyone interested in learning navigation skills.

Thanks for a great weekend"

Andy is a great leader for a course like this - he seems quite laid back but very knowledgeable too! I liked the fact that he didn’t mind keep having to go over quite simple things. I also like the fact that the groups are small and even though I am slightly on the unfit side it wasn’t too strenuous! I had a great weekend doing this course.
