Navigation – skills for life
Either our one day course or the 5 week course can help you develop confidence to go out walking in the hills with a better grasp of map reading and navigation abilities. You will learn the fundamentals of interpreting contours and scales and ways of keeping a track of where you are, so you are able to keep found.
Effective use of a compass will also be reviewed, with guidance on pacing and timings and route planning. Developing these talents could make all the difference to enjoyment and safety whilst out and about with family and friends and the course is fun.
Learn to navigate safety through Scotland’s hills, mountains, forests and glens competently, confidently in an enjoyable setting with a friendly tutor either as a one day course overview or in more depth over 5 weeks.
