The courses are held in the Skipton area of the Yorkshire Dales

The course is aimed at the novice navigator, who enjoys walking in the hills, but also wishes to improve their personal map and compass skills.

The aim of the weekend is to equip the novice navigator with the necessary personal skills and confidence to undertake their own walks and expeditions in the hills and mountains anywhere in the UK.

The first part of the course (Saturday afternoon session) is held in a private room at St Andrews Chapel, which is located near to Skipton at Walton Street, Cowling, Keighley, North Yorkshire BD22 0AZ. The session will run between 1.00pm and approx. 4.00pm. This period will be used to cover the basics of using both maps and a compass in a warm and comfortable environment.

The following day (Sunday – full day) is held entirely outdoors and is conducted on the high moors of the Yorkshire Dales, where over the course of the day we carry out a series of practical exercises, looking at the landscape and natural features and interpreting them to the map. By the end of the day you should feel confident in understanding scales, signs and symbols, taking and walking on a bearing, measuring distances on foot, micro navigation and re-location exercises – and have a lot of fun along the way too!

There are only 6 places on each course to give the optimum student / instructor ratio. The cost of the weekend is £75.00 Accommodation, if necessary can be found in the small market town of Skipton (see link to Skipton Web)
