Our 1-day Wilderness Navigation course is aimed at those who already have some hill walking experience and at least a basic understanding of how to use a map and compass. This course will build on these foundations and take you to more demanding upland ‘wild’ terrain. Amongst other things, you will look at the use of the compass, detailed map interpretation (including navigating by contour features), estimating distance travelled, micro-navigation and route selection.

You’ll also look at how to hone your clothing and equipment and consider what to do in the case of an emergency in a remote location.
