Beginner Navigation Training
If you've got little experience using a map and compass to navigate, and want to start building foundational skills then this course is for you.
Skills:
- Intro to map reading
- Relating contours on the map to the real world
- Intro to using a compass
- Orientating a map
​​
Intermediate Navigation
If you feel confident with navigating on paths, are confident with handling a map and compass and now want to take your navigation to the next level, this is for you!
We will build on the skills you already have so you can navigate off-path and safely get off the mountains when the weather turns bad. We will also teach you skills such as pacing and timing so you can accurately locate yourself on the map at any given time.
Advanced Navigation
This half-day course will give you the skills to help you navigate to high precision in low-visibility situations. We will build on your experience of utilising existing map and compass skills so you can safely navigate in the thickest fog and nightfall.
This course will start in the afternoon giving you the opportunity to hone those skills and apply them to night navigation. This is great training for the Mountain Leaders Qualification-the same syllabus and skills are covered.
