Learn to Navigate
Whether you are a complete beginner, or you don't feel confident to venture out on the hills yourself then this 2 day course will give you plenty of practice and a sound footing.

Topics include:
Maps and scales
Grid references
Bearings and back bearings
Interpreting contours and topographical features
Relating the map to the ground and vice versa
Attack points and aiming off
Pacing and timing
Navigation in poor visibility

The cost is £90 per person and the maximum course ratio is 6 clients to 1 instructor.

Advanced Navigation
This 2 day  course covers all of the topics in the Learn to Navigate course but  places much greater emphasis on micro navigation techniques, contour interpretation and relocation  to enable you to navigate whatever the weather and the terrain. It also covers the use of a GPS.

The cost is £100 per person and depending upon the time of year can include some night navigation. The maximum course ratio is 4 clients to 1 instructor.


Refresher Course
This one day course is aimed at brushing up on your existing skills and will be of interest to those who haven't been walking for a while or those undertaking their Walking Group Leader or Mountain Leader awards.  It is run on a 1 to 1 basis and the cost is £110 per person.

Night Navigation
For the ultimate challenge why not practice navigating at night. It will prepare you for walking in thick cloud and  greatly increase your confidence not only in terms of general map reading but also if  ever you get caught out by failing daylight.
Please telephone us for further information particularly in relation to costs as these vary depending upon the time of year and whether it is combined with one of our other courses.

We also offer a 5 day course which is combined with our Hill Skills course and involves  2 nights out camping. See here for details.


Please note that the maximum group size for all Navigation courses is 6 people.
