WORKSHOP CONTENT & LEARNING OUTCOMES

This is a great opportunity to practice your navigation skills at night and in poor visibility, something that is a required skill in LL, HML and ML awards. 

There will be opportunity to practice lots of core night nav skills such as pacing, timing and relocation. We will literally spend some time walking round in circles,walking on bearings and using attack points effectively. 

Sence Valley is a Lowland area and most of the session will be on paths and tracks.This is a good opportunity to brush up on the basics with your peers.

PARKING: NB the Sence Valley car park is locked at night. Please park sensitively in the housing estate opposite and cross the road to walk into the Sence Valley Forest Car Park where we will meet. Take care crossing this road as it can be busy.
