INTRODUCTION TO MAP READING
A practical one day introduction to map reading in either Greater Manchester or Derbyshire area, aimed at those with little or no experience of using a map and compass.
Held in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, the aim of this fun introductory navigation course is to enable you to navigate safely and competently and be confident enough to start exploring on your own - we want you to enjoy learning those new essential skills!
Learning is informal and relaxed, with plenty of practical experience out in the countryside, within a small group of up to 1:6 ratio.
We cover around 4 to 6 miles each day, following paths across farmland, valleys, riversides, woodland, hills and downland in the north west countryside. The locations we use are easily accessible from Motorways in Manchester and are convenient for public transport if required.
All courses are ran by a qualifed expedition / lowland leader adult with enhanced DBS
Course starts from £45pp
If you have completed a basic map reading course or want to gain more confidence navigating away from paths and in open countryside in more complex terrain this course is for you.
You will learn accurate compass work and an ability to use appropriate navigational techniques to go across country in some cases, eg. choosing an appropriate attack point.
You will also learn about risk assessing and planning you route in a more advanced manner
