A fun learning environment to practice your poor visibility navigation skills.

We will meet in Threipmuir Car Park and begin our practicisng as we leave the car park and head for the hills.

Pacing, Bearings, Aspect of Slope, Timings, Spurs, Reentrants - all things that can be put to good use.

Before we leave the car park we will make sure we have sufficient shelter, first aid kits etc

I would suggest water plus a hot drink and some snacks.
