WORKSHOP CONTENT & LEARNING OUTCOMES

The syllabus for both Hill and Moorland and Mountain Leader states that candidates should be comfortable navigating with a range of commonly used map scales. In reality this could mean that you'll spend a portion of your training and/or assessment using not only 1:25,000 scale (on either OS or Harvey Maps), but also 1:50,000 scale (OS Landranger), or 1:40,000 scale (Harvey Ultra Map or British Mountain Map). The Candidate Notes also suggest that using orienteering maps may be useful as a training aid, and these maps come in a wide range of scales, including 1:5,000, 1:7,500, :1;10,000 and 1:12,5000. For many candidates this can be baffling. As Providers and Course Directors we often find that candidates are only really comfortable with one scale (often the OS 1:25,000). So, we've put together a specialist workshop, run on a handful of dates each year, were we look at how your navigation skills should and can be transferable to any scale of map. We'll help you develop the skills to be confident as a navigator no matter which scale of map you're using.
