This 1-day Compass & Contours course in the Yorkshire Dales will focus on understanding contours and appropriate compass use up on the hills and fells of the Yorkshire Dales.This course will introduce you to the key hill skills needed to move away from paths and tracks and navigate short legs across hills and open country using contour interpretation and appropriate compass use, from setting the map to ‘quick’ bearings and ‘full’ bearings. We will also look at distance estimation across rough terrain and navigation strategies to enable you to navigate from an ‘attack point’ across open country to a destination such as a Trig Point or to connect parallel paths separated by open country.
This Compass & Contours course (intermediate navigation skills) is suitable for people who already have some navigation skills and wish to develop these skills further to navigate across Open Country. It is ideal for walkers who have attended a 1-day Map Reading course, NNAS Bronze Award or Lowland Leader course and want to move to the next level and learn how to navigate across the hills using compass and contours. It is also a great refresher day for NNAS Silver Award holders and HML trainees.
Or maybe you just want an adventurous day out on the hills….
