WHAT IS IT?
This course is designed as a Basic introduction to navigation, we will cover most subjects covered in our 2 day course but not in as much detail.
WHAT WILL WE LEARN?
We will start the day in the office and run through the basics of maps and compasses, as well as grid bearings, contours and following a bearing, we will then get out onto the local fells and put what you have learned into practice.
You will be given a route to follow, usually around a 3-4 hour walk, along the way we will practice map reading and taking sight bearings, you will learn how to make sure you are on the correct path, as well as how to pace your route for accuracy.
This is a great family course, with enough information to keep it interesting but not too much where it becomes hard to remember, the kids will love getting involved as well as learning valuable skills.
