About
Learn how to navigate using only the shape of the ground with contour-only maps, and then transfer this knowledge back to normal maps, again focusing primarily on the shape of the ground. This will really sharpen your navigation skills so that you no longer rely on line features, such as streams, walls and paths, which can all change.
Understand contours and how to use them in navigation using contour only maps, this workshop will include relating map to ground and identifying slope angles and aspect, Identifying features and positions , method of relocations and route strategy using solely contours.
Equipment to bring:
- The usual personal gear for a full day out in the mountains
- Compass
- Watch
-Mapcase (essential because the contour-only maps are not waterproof)
- 1:25000 Harvey’s Superwalker Lake District North or Dinky Map+ Central Lake District
We will be using contour-only maps which we will provide, and which you can keep at the end of the day.
