Join Graham Uney for a navigation workshop looking at the best way to progress your skills to get ready for an assessment or refresh your skills and even pick up something new.
This workshop will focus on simplifying navigation strategies to enable you to choose the right navigation tool for the job. We’ll look at identifying whether navigation legs are rough or fine, how to break a journey down, and discuss the specific techniques required to deal with navigating a particular route.
During the day we’ll look at linear and cross-country navigation, building on your existing skills to either help you towards assessment, or to further develop if you are already qualified. These workshops will take place in terrain suitable for both ML and HML, and the workshop will run straight from the Blencathra FSC Centre.
Candidates should bring their own personal outdoor clothing and kit, including a compass and OS Explorer maps OL4 and OL5.
