IMPROVERS
If you already have some navigation experience or have done a Taster, this session will build on your skills, in particular focusing on developing map memory, compass skills, contour interpretation, strategies and route planning.
HOW ABOUT SOME NIGHT NAVIGATION?
It’s a fantastic way boost your confidence even further and build on your strategies, timing and pacing.
“I cannot recommend the night navigation enough…in the dark you need to have as many tools as possible…Cathy was superb, the epitome of calmness and patience..such an unusual pleasure to walk on the Downs at night.”

As for Half Day but after a lunch stop more time to practise the skills, plan your route and have the choice to lead a route section to put your skills to the test!
