What's this workshop about?

This will be a peer-led navigation practice session based around Peak District aircraft wrecks. 

You will have the 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.

Kit

Suitable clothing for a day on the hill whatever the weather.  Lunch, snacks, water.  Personal first aid kit, and any meds you require.
Map required OL1, 1:25000 Dark Peak.  GPS may be useful but is by no means essential.

After we come off the hill we could then adjourn to a suitable hostelry to review and share info
about the aircraft.
