How proficient are you with your basic land navigation? Could you confidently navigate in bad weather, or at night in unfamiliar terrain?

The current trend in over reliance on technology can cause real issues when batteries die, signal is lost, or it just stops working.

Our basic one day navigation course on the 21st November in the Peak District covers all the essentials of basic navigation, from introduction to maps and the compass, to bearings, route selection, pacing and more.

Our instructor is a former Pathfinder and Mountain Leader, with over three decades of navigational experience in various environments.

Places are available on our website now;

WHAT A DAY! 💪🔥 P COMPANY TRILOGY

It was brilliant to welcome back some familiar faces and equally fantastic to meet so many new ones. We hope you’ve all enjoyed the challenge enough to come back and join us again!

Every single one of you did yourselves proud today. The conditions were tough, and facing those winds was no easy feat. It takes real determination to get out there, dig deep and keep pushing when the weather is against you. 💨⛰️

For those who made it to the finish line — huge congratulations! 🏅 And for those who didn’t quite manage to complete the course, please don’t be too disappointed. It was a seriously tough day out there, and sometimes the mountains and the conditions have other ideas. You still got out there and gave it your best, and that counts for a lot.

A HUGE thank you to our amazing staff team! ❤️👏

Our team battled the elements right alongside you, working hard behind the scenes and out on the course to keep everything running smoothly and make today such a memorable event. We honestly couldn’t do it without you. You’re absolute legends! 🙌

We’ll be sharing the finisher photos and full results tomorrow, so keep an eye on the page! 📸

For tonight, we hope you’re all home safely, feet up, well fed and recovering well. You’ve certainly earned a rest! 😂👏

A massive thank you to everyone who took part and helped make today such a brilliant event. We loved having you all out there!

Until the next one… stay tough, stay safe, and we’ll see you on the hills! 💪🇬🇧

Coming up this Sunday the 25th October, our annual P Company Trilogy race. 👍

This arduous 24km route was part of the infamous Pegasus Company test week, the selection course for the Parachute Regiment and Airborne Forces. 🪂

The route covers terrain that is unfamiliar to many hillwalkers, increasing the challenge. ⛰️

Are you tough enough to take it on? 🤔

For those who didn't get around to buying a copy, this is now available via Amazon. It includes a chapter about the superb First In Events team helping me to climb Pen Y Fan in a wheelchair. Many thanks, Al Strudwick

This is the moving story of an Army Veteran’s battle against serious mental and physical health issues; about how his own resilience combined with the support of his family, friends, comrades and military charities enabled him to pull himself back from ‘the abyss’ to find purpose in his life a...

🪂 ALMOST 40 YEARS LATER…

In 1988, at just 17 yrs old, First In Events’ Director Tom stood on the hills of the Brecon Beacons and took on P Company to join The Parachute Regiment.

Almost 40 years later, he's going back.

Not because he has anything left to prove.
Not because he needs to.
But because some challenges stay with you.

The mountains.
The memories.
The people you shared it with.
And that little voice that says…
“I wonder if I could still do it?”

This time, he's returning to the hills as part of the P Company Trilogy with First In Events.
Same mountains.
A few more years on the clock. 😂
And probably a very different body to the one he had at17! 🤣

But the determination?
That hasn't changed!

🎥 We made this video to tell Tom's story and to share what it means to return to something that was such a significant part of his life almost four decades ago.
Watch it. ❤️🪂

And if you did P Company back in the day, we'd love to hear your story too.
