Online Navigation Course
Welcome to my FREE online navigation course! Here you can learn the theory behind navigation in the comfort of your own home. There is no obligation to book onto one of my navigation courses, however nothing beats a hands on approach under the watchful eye of an instructor among the hills and mountains themselves! But feel free to take full advantage of my online course and practice in your local area
Please read the attached file below for more information about the course.
