About

WORKSHOP CONTENT & LEARNING OUTCOMES

 

This is a peer led day of navigation, for those wanting to practice, build on existing skills and feel confident in their navigation skills.  We will cover compass work and choosing the best navigational strategies for the terrain, using large and small contour features, timings, pacing skills and route choice.  We will use a mixture of rights of way as well as open access areas within the Aston Rowant National Nature Reserve.  The area is a rich chalk grassland with some rare and beautiful plants and butterflies so we will tread carefully when off the paths and use the opportunity to identify some of the flora and fauna as well.

 

The day will be a supportive environment and an opportunity to network with other members as well.

 

We will meet in the carpark at Cowleaze Woods at 09:30 hrs and aim to finish by 14:00 hrs.  Postcode is OX49 5HX, OS Grid Ref: SU 72583 95608, what3words ///parrot.trappings.glad
