Hi my name is Neil Perry and I am a qualified Mountain Leader and International Mountain Leader. I enjoy mountaineering, hillwalking and introducing people to the hills and mountains and want to share my enthusiasm with you! I can teach the skills needed to be comfortable walking in the outdoors, through planning walking routes, understanding where you are and how to navigate to where you want to go. I can also advise on what kit you may need and what to take with you for day walks or camping trips, including wild camping.
I have been mountaineering and hillwalking since I was at school and have visited many mountainous and upland areas of the UK and abroad. I am a based in Hertfordshire regularly visiting the upland areas of the UK and overseas.
I am a full member of The British Association of International Mountain Leaders (BAIML), Mountain training Association (MTA) and the British Mountaineering Council (BMC)
I am available for Freelance work as a mountain leader. And I run guided walks on lowland and mountain terrain, Map and compass training and National navigation award scheme courses.
I will add my trips, thoughts and climbs to my blog pages as I go.

I found Neil to be an excellent teacher. He had a lot of patience and explained everything very clearly and took time with everybody individually. I found his approach of building up participants' knowledge incrementally worked very well for improving our confidence.

This is a excellent course run over two days. A days training followed by assessment. Neil gives clear, concise navigation techniques and insightful knowledge of the landscape. Equally suited to beginners in map reading ,to those with previous experience who wish to sharpen their skills. Brilliant. Thank you The Mountain Trod.

I really enjoyed learning bronze nav skills with Neil in February 2023. Learning by doing works for me, backed up with the theory and really good tips as appropriate. Thanks.
