About the Course
Can you navigate using the shape of the ground alone?
Contours are one of the most reliable sources of information on a map, particularly when paths, tracks and other features aren't available or visibility deteriorates.
Learning to interpret the shape of the landscape can transform your ability to navigate in the hills and mountains.
Our one-day Contour Navigation course focuses on developing your understanding of terrain and using contour features to navigate accurately across open country.
Using contour-only maps and practical exercises on Dartmoor, you'll learn to recognise subtle changes in the landscape and use them to plan routes and identify your position.
