This will be a Peer led navigation practice session based around peak district aircraft wrecks.  It is an opportunity to practise and consolidate navigation skills by navigating to small defined points in open moorland.

This could contribute to Preparation for Hill & Moorland Leader. Summer ML or Lowland leader as an opportunity to practice skills along with peers.

Information about the aircraft involved and how they came to crash will be provided. This will give place related information for use if visiting the sites with groups in the future.
