Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I had a 1:1 night navigation session with Emma. It was among the best training I’ve had - I’m getting on a bit so I’ve had a lot. There were several emails back and forth to understand exactly what I wanted to get from the session, and during the session Emma was very good at checking what I already knew and figuring out where my knowledge and skill gaps were. She is a very clear communicator and her jargon-free way of teaching and explaining things helped me pick up new concepts up more quickly. Apart from being a really good instructor Emma is also very personable and was easy company. I’m considering more training and will definitely go back to Emma for this. I learned far more than I had expected and I not only feel much more confident about navigating and finding my way in the dark but I now seem to have a sense of empowerment that wasn't there before.

The a night nav session I did with Emma the week before my HML assessment really made a difference. Her tips on pacing and using your arm to judge contours and the lay of the land in poor visibility proved invaluable the following weekend on a dark, foggy, drizzly, Alport Moor.

My partner and I did the Bronze course in October.
Excellent planning, excellent instruction, well thought out layering of concepts and increase of complexity, good balance of individual help and group teaching and (most importantly) time, space and a good environment to practice, get things wrong and then improve.
I noticed an improvement from day 1 to 2.
I will definitely be doing the Silver course with Emma, once I get a few more walks under my belt.

My sister and I completed the beginners navigation course. Emma actively listened to our needs and planned the course around our physical abilities and experience. She delivered concise information and answered our numerous questions. She gave feedback in a positive, sensitive manner and with a great sense of humour. We are definitely going to book another installment.

Fantastic fun on the bronze 2 day course. I thought I was going to be with a bunch of teenagers doing D of E but it was a small group of 4 mixed ladies and men and we had a blast!
Emma was very down to earth, friendly and polite. She allowed us space to make our own decisions and make some mistakes and reeled us back in when needed.
Definitely good value and will be back for the silver!

I found Emma via a simple google search as I was keen to get back into walking off the beaten track and competent with map & compass. Emma is an authority on all things navigation and is patient, professional and explains the various topics clear concise and in a logical manner. Had some great fun too over the 2 days and a fellow cricket fan which can only be a bonus :)
I got so much from the 2 days, and will be booking the silver NNAS course in the new year, once i have had chance to do a spot of practice.
If youre looking to do a navigation course, I dont think you'll find a better guide than Emma and you'll have a blast in the process.
Cheers Emma - see you soon.

My husband bought myself and our daughter the course for our birthdays. This gift was inspired by the fact that we were going to walk the coast to coast trail in August- he wanted us to have the skills to navigate our journey safely and with confidence.
The day started with a welcoming chat in the cafe where we got to know Emma and the other 2 people on the course. Emma put us all at ease, explaining clearly about different maps and how to read them. We then went outside for the rest of the course to learn how to set the map with a compass, understand contours, The 5 D’s- very interesting and extremely useful- and what to do if you get lost ( which we undoubtedly will in the C2C!)
I would thoroughly recommend this course and any of the other courses that Emma offers. Having a maximum of 4 people in a group meant that we all felt fully supported when putting theory into practice later on in the day. The area that we walked around was beautiful and varied, giving us lots of opportunities to practice our skills.
Thank you Emma, a great day, very informative and enjoyable, loved every minute.

I’ve just spent 3 days with Emma as one of our leaders, wild camping on Dartmoor. This was my first wild camp experience. We had complete beginners in our small group and people who’d done a fair bit of hiking before. It was a brilliant weekend and I don’t think I stopped smiling the whole time. There was as much support or as little as you wanted so if this is something you are thinking of trying but are a bit worried you aren’t up to it, just go for it! I really hope I get to spend more time with Emma, Dave and the friends I made.

After spending almost 3 days together on a wild camping expedition for beginners I can highly recommend Emma, her knowledge, advise, tips, conversation and company were second to none, I felt safe and well supported at all times, Emma was more than happy to assist with everything and anything, she was approachable and clearly has a passion for what she does.
