Advance your basic map reading skills.
During this course you are invited to join our WGL qualified instructors in the wonderful landscape of the peak district. Here you will develop your map and compass skills.
Initially we will brush up on the basics of interpreting the map within the landscape, understanding scales, calculating distances, providing 4 and 6 figure grid references, and setting the map to ground.
We will then move on to learn, and put into practice, some more advanced map and compass skills. These will include orientating the map to identify features, calculating magnetic and grid bearings, walking on a bearing, use of attack points, identification of hazards, use of handrails, relocation strategies, and probably the most important skill to learn of all… contour interpretation.
The course is run entirely out on the hills and is completely "hands on". You will be provided with a map of the area and guided through all of the above skills to provide you with the confidence to plan and execute your own navigational lowland walks using the footpath network.
This course begins in Edale within the Peak District National Park.
