This is the next step on from our Navigation Basics course and builds on the knowledge and skills previously acquired or alternative map reading experience. The course will be run in the South Downs National Park in Sussex which is an ideal location being such a beautiful and peaceful place, and the ideal situation, being located near to Winchester, Brighton and Chichester, and even London can be reached in around an hour. During the one day course you will be taught how to navigate to a higher standard and accurately find features away from paths and tracks.
This course will build on previous navigation knowledge learned from experience or from our navigation basics course, developing the necessary skills needed to read a map efficiently with the use of a compass. We will teach you more advanced map to ground navigation and compass skills to navigate cross country and accurately find specific locations such as aiming off, attack points, boxing and search patterns for finding objects or places. These are essential skills for anyone who might be interested in exploring or just finding their way, including walkers, fell runners and mountaineers among others.
If you feel you have already gained these skills and would like to test your navigational abilities in different situations a Night Navigation course is the perfect way to do this in a safe and controlled environment.
