About
Contour Masterclass - using the lay of the land to navigate
This is an opportunity to consolidate on areas of personal performance, showing you some simple ways to understand contours and how to use them in your navigation. This is ideal for those who are working towards their Mountain Leader qualification as well as qualifed leaders, wanting to enhance or refresh their skills
Learn how to navigate using only the shape of the ground with contour-only maps, and then transfer this knowledge back to normal maps. This will really sharpen your navigation skills.
The day will include:
Identify the basic contour shapes on the map and ground
Relate map and the land to each other using contours
Methods of identifying features and position
Navigate using the map alone
Methods of relocation
Route strategy using contours
Contour only maps will be used on this day
