NAVIGATION TRAINING

Are Maps a Mystery to you? NO MORE!

These weekends are ideal for complete novice navigators or for anyone who wishes just to brush-up on their skill level.
Dartmoor National Park is an ideal location to learn or improve these skills. This practical course will introduce you to a variety of techniques, including poor visibility skills, pacing and timing. We will take you through every aspect of basic navigation from symbols, scales and grid references, to ground shape, measuring distances to taking bearings and using a compass. These courses include knowledge of safety and access issues when walking in the countryside, as well as an understanding of environmental issues and awareness of impacts.
The perfect course to provide the basic skills to explore the mountains and wild country with confidence. So come along and learn skills whilst enjoying Devon's wild and beautiful landscape!!
