My name is Emma Holland and I am a qualified Summer Mountain Leader. I founded Emma Holland Mountain Training because I want to inspire and support you on a journey or adventure of your own.

I have been hill walking and enjoying the mountain areas of the UK for all of my life and I want to share that passion and enthusiasm with you. The hills and mountains of the UK are so accessible, yet without the correct knowledge, skills and experience they can be intimidating and potentially dangerous places for any walker of any level.

My passion is teaching navigation. I enjoy helping others develop skills and confidence to walk more independently, explore new areas and have their own outdoor adventures. 

When I’m not delivering my own navigation courses in the Peak District you might find me working over in North Wales. For the last two years, I have been delivering Mountain Leader Training courses on behalf of Paul Poole Mountaineering of North Wales. Paul is very highly regarded and well-established as a course director for Mountain Training. If you’d like to find out more about the Mountain Leader training courses in Snowdonia, please contact Paul Poole Mountaineering. I can help support and advise you before you begin your ML journey, or during your consolidation period.

I also support Mountain Leader and Hill & Moorland Trainees in the Peak District before and during their training/consolidation period. Visit my mentoring/coaching page for more information. 

Coaching Your Confidence 

All of my navigation courses are delivered in a relaxed, friendly, inclusive and supportive environment. Getting to know my course participants is very important to me so I like to work with small groups of up to 6 people, or with individuals. I want my courses and training sessions to feel personalised to your needs, which is why I offer bespoke sessions.

Whether you are new to walking, want to experience outdoor activities or you are working towards one of the mountain training walking qualifications, all of my training can be adapted or modified to suit your needs. If you would like to talk further with me about my coaching offer, please see the Mentoring and Coaching page

Most of all, I want you to enjoy your time with me and to feel inspired and confident to continue your own journey outdoors, wherever that may take you. 

I belong to the Mountain Training Association (MTA), the British Mountaineering Council (BMC).  I am a registered Director and Course Provider for the Bronze, Silver & Gold NNAS Award Scheme and I hold the National Navigation Scheme Tutor Award (NNAS). I also have a valid and current Outdoor First Aid Certificate, full public liability insurance and an enhanced DBS certificate.

About Ben Hunt, ML

I’m pleased to announce that Ben Hunt, ML is now working with me and delivering some of my navigation courses. I first met Ben when he was matched with me as an MTA mentee. I was Ben’s mentor for a year and supported his ML training until his assessment. Ben is a good friend and outdoor instructor who I trust. Occasionally, Ben will deliver some of my courses. If you want to guarantee that I am delivering the course, please contact me.
