Description

CONSOLIDATION 16
Two three hour+ sessions of micro-navigation on separate days in two locations of the south Derbys/E. Staffs area. This was largely across cultivated and non-access land, so there were some restrictions on movement. Nonetheless I feel I made the most of the surroundings. As the feedback from the 'Mock Student' day at PyB recently had suggested, I navigated by and concentrated on identifying as many contour/linear/natural features as practicable without use of compass. Snow concentrations were heavy in places, which provided added complexity at times. Even at this late stage (towards Assessment) I was able to add to my appreciation of map contour and ground features, working at a speed probably slower than we will on Assessment but one that offered me opportunities to further develop my ground-to-map and vice-versa technique.
