Navigation Training with Lithosphere Expeditions

Expert-Led Navigation Training in the Peak District Build confidence in the hills with practical, hands-on navigation training. Taught entirely in real terrain by a qualified Mountain Leader and NNAS Tutor, our courses move beyond the classroom to help you master the landscape.

What You Will Learn:

• Core Navigation: Map reading, compass skills, route planning, pacing, and timing.
• Advanced Skills: Navigating safely in poor visibility and across featureless terrain.
• Reading the Landscape: As an Earth science adventure company, we teach you to interpret topography and navigate responsibly through sensitive upland ecology, including protected peatlands and moorland SSSIs.

Locations Tailored to You: Venues are chosen to match your exact skill level. We utilize the forgiving paths and edges around Edale and the limestone dales of the White Peak for fundamentals, before progressing to the challenging, open moorland of Kinder Scout and Bleaklow.

Who is this for? Perfect for complete beginners, hillwalkers wanting a reliable backup to GPS, trail runners, and Duke of Edinburgh candidates. No prior experience is required. All maps, compasses, and training materials are provided.
