About the event
COURSE OUTLINE:
This course is for experienced hill and mountain walkers who want to develop their navigation skills for navigating in poor visibility and remote, complex terrain. You'll gain the skills to be able to identify contour features, changes in the shape of the ground whilst navigating and be able to navigate with these features and to them as checkpoints.
We will use contour only maps, different map scales and a whole load of other resources to help you develop better understanding of contours. As the course progresses, we will start to transfer these new skills back to regular maps and seek out contour features to use in our navigation.
WHO'S IT FOR?
Anyone who is working towards a Mountain Training Mountain Leader or Hill and Moorland Leader assessment
