Dolomite Peak District Navigation Course

We offer a bespoke Navigation Course to groups of all sizes. These include ramblers clubs or walking groups that would like to learn more navigation skills. Equally this course is ideal for those who want the confidence to lead walks within their clubs. Our instructors are all Mountain Leaders and are there to support and encourage you. They will also share their knowledge and skills to help you develop a good navigation toolkit.

This one day navigation course is ideal for groups who either have limited confidence in their own ability or the skills to map read independently.

If you have a small group then this course can be run on demand. This means that you can choose the dates that suit you and we can supply the staff to deliver the training. The price advertised is for a minimum of 4 people but we will offer discounts for larger groups. Please contact us for further details.

During the course you will learn about:

• How to orientate a map (with and without a compass)
• Look at scales on different maps
• Look at features and symbols and what the mean
• Taking bearings
• Gain confidence in relocating
