Introduction to Navigation Course

A one day introduction to navigation course is an ideal workshop for those wanting to get to grips with map reading and gain confidence in heading off on a walk! We look at the basics of map reading, how to plan a route and head out on the footpaths to put theory into action.

Navigation Workshops

Take your navigation to the next level. Building on the Introduction to Navigation course, this workshop helps more confident navigators refine their skills. Is there something specific you’d like to feel more confident in, or a new topic you’d like support exploring? Get in touch to see how we might be able to help!
