Whats it all about? what is Navigation?

Have you ever felt a little lost when out in the countryside?
Have you spotted little groups of folks with maps and compasses in handed and wanted to know how they use them?
Are you walking along with your phone or GPS in hand? or trusting your friends to know where they are?

Hopes and dreams
We aim to equip you with the essential skills to navigate using a map and compass, how to know where your going, where you have been, and most importantly, where you are now.
Your confidence is going to be sky high after one of our courses.

Details
A full day course, 9:30am, until 4:30pm, We meet at a parking spot in the central Peak District, and have a short introduction, to ourselves, and to the equipment, how to hold a map, and to the parts of a compass.
From there we head off walking, the day is a practical one, other than sitting for lunch, somewhere with a view we will be moving for the whole day.
We kick things off with a practical demonstration, giving you the chance to sharpen your skills before tackling tougher challenges. You’ll be amazed by the accuracy of the maps as you learn to spot and interpret clues in your surroundings. The afternoon is all about reading the land—teaching you to match the steepness and shape of the ground right back to your map.

Requirements
We will provide maps and compasses, although your very welcome to bring your own (OS MAP OL1)
