Fundamental navigation

 

Overview:

Length: 2 days

Max ratio: 1:6

Navigation need not be a baffling subject or a dark art! Over the course of 2 days, you will explore some very simple tactics to help you plan and follow routes in the countryside using paths and tracks by yourself with confidence. Basic map interpretation - symbols, grid references, scales & rights of way - will be introduced slowly and not rushed. We look at ways to estimate distance travelled and work towards a fool-proof strategy to get you from point A to point B. Eventually, we look at the benefits of a compass and how this can be used to assist our navigational legs.

Who is this for?

This course is aimed at those who have never picked up a map or compass before and want to gain the skills to enable personal navigation in a structured and progressive manner. We will be operating in undulating terrain but stick largely to paths and tracks rather than rough country.
