Highlights
You will spend 2 days in the outdoors learning both basic and more advanced navigation techniques such as grid references, relocation, compass bearings, aiming off, attack points, contour recognition and navigation on more technical, rougher and complex ground.
This is an ideal continuation for those who have undertaken a beginners course but also suitable for those who have not completed any other training. We will tailor exercises to each individuals ability.
One of the keys aspects in becoming a good navigator is to practise a wide range of navigation techniques and this really requires 2 full days of training, providing the time to practise the skills and learn from your course leader. The course cost does not include accommodation. All our events are approved as "Good to Go" Covid-secure by Visit England.
COVID-19 Tier Travel Guidance We are currently not taking bookings for activities due to take place before mid February due to the National Lockdown. We are still taking bookings for after this and expect to become very busy again after winter and recommend that people book early, especially for weekends activities. Our "Book with Confidence" reschedule/refund guarantee continues to be in place in case of guidance to avoid travel. If you'd like to discuss options before booking please contact us.
