Angelina Messenger
From the Chiltern Hills in Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire to the mountains in Eryri (Snowdonia, North Wales), Angelina offers map reading and navigation courses, guided hikes and mountain adventures. One day courses and walks, two day camping or bunkhouse adventures or private events anywhere in the UK.
I am a fully qualified Mountain Leader and National Navigation Award Scheme (NNAS) provider with a passion for helping others get outdoors. My goal is to help others boost their well-being, build confidence, and achieve new skills in the UK’s beautiful countryside and mountains. I offer bespoke trips and skills improvement days, including the Bronze, Silver, and Gold NNAS Awards. With a background in archaeology and experience in a variety of outdoor pursuits, I bring a relaxed and accessible style to all my guided walks and navigation courses. I have had a lifelong love for adventure and have shared this with my own children from an early age. I am happy to take children on all of my activities to feed their natural curiosity and need to be outside. The mental health benefits and resilience gained from the great outdoors are invaluable for all ages.
Please get in touch for further details, see my courses section or let me know what ideas you have and I will be happy to help you. Although I am based in the Chiltern Hills where I deliver most of my navigation courses, I do travel all over the UK for guided walks and map reading skills, so do let me know if you want something closer to you.
