Learn to navigate
The ability to navigate in the mountains is a key skill for any walker, hiker, mountaineer or climber in the UK. Can you take a bearing and walk for 850m accurately to safely find your way off the top of a rocky mountain? If not, then a navigation course would be money well spent!
Single day navigation courses
Learn the basics of navigating in the mountains only using a map and compass.
Three day navigation expedition
Learn to navigate to a professional standard on a three day, navigation and night navigation course. Day one will be spent brushing up on skills and organising kit before heading out into the hills for an overnight expedition on days two and three.
After setting up camp, on the afternoon of day two, we will then head out navigating as dusk falls for a torchlit exercise in night navigation. By day three you should be fully confident in your navigation skills as we return and debrief.
