A little bit of about us

Snowdonia Navigation was formed in 2006 by Mark Handford and Shân Rees Roberts who run the successful adventure activity company Snowdonia Adventures.

We wanted to provide essential skills for walkers and mountaineers to help reduce the accidents that happen every year in the mountains of North Wales and decided to provide a dedicated company to give the best possible learning experience for all levels of ability. We pride ourselves on being able to not only provide structured certificated and non certificated courses but also bespoke tailored courses to meet your needs.

Mark Handford is a course provider for the National Navigation Award Scheme (NNAS) and can provide Training and Assessment Courses at the awards highest level.

Our instructors are qualified Mountain Leaders and Mountain Instructors who have a wealth of experience not only in the UK but in Europe and the Greater Ranges. They are passionate walkers, mountaineers and climbers but best of all they have an abundance of 'life skills' enabling them to be able to adjust teaching styles to match each individuals needs.

We try our hardest to make the minimum amount of impact in the environment that we work in and we follow a minimal impact policy, we also try to keep our office as paper free as possible to help the environment. Our main form of advertising is web based so please don't expect us to send out glossy brochures that eventually end up in the bin, all you need to know can be found on this web site. You can help us to improve our company by letting us know if all the information you need is on this web site and if it isn't then we will update the site accordingly.
