Basic Hybrid Navigation Using Map & Mobile Phone MAX12 people
Having the skills & confidence to navigate safely & accurately in the outdoors can be a great asset, giving us an independence that encourages enjoyment of the great outdoors, together with the physical & mental wellness benefits that walking in the countryside brings. This economical
1 Day Introduction to Hybrid Navigation & Hill Skills Session is designed to teach you & allow you to put into practice those basic skills needed getting you out & about in time for Spring & Summer. It’s a basic course so no experience is necessary, however, you’ll need to have a reasonable level of fitness.
Fit enough to walk at a very easy pace, with lots of stops over the day.
The group will have a maximum of 12 learners, but needs a minimum of 4 to run.
Your Course Leader is Karl a fully qualified International Mountain Leader, Outdoor Education Lecturer & a Leader/Instructor with long experience of navigating across mountains, through snow covered wilderness & even across the odd desert. Don’t worry though, the course will be at a very easy pace, allowing you to comfortably assimilate the navigation, hillwalking skills and importantly the confidence you need to progress.
This 7+ hour course will be very much hands on, mostly outdoors with a short plenary session at the finish, but will also involve a little pre course reading & learning.
I expect us to walk 6/8 miles during our day amongst the hills. Dress for the weather and come prepared for a way in the hills. Bring lunch, warm drink etc.
You’ll need a smart phone with the Ordnance Survey app loaded. (Pre course notes will explain how we do this) and an Explorer Paper Map of the area we choose to walk in.
I’ve designed the course to be excellent value for money and thorough.

Session Fee: £45 paid as £20 non returnable deposit then a final payment of £25 3 weeks before the course. After which you’ll receive joining instructions and pre-course exercises.
