Introduction to Navigation Skills

Ready to ditch the well-trodden paths and explore the countryside with confidence?
This workshop is designed for beginners and aims to equip you with the skills to tackle more adventurous days out without ever feeling lost again.

We start things off with a theory session in store, where you'll unlock the secrets of maps, their symbols, contours, and how they translate to the real world around you. You'll also get to grips with the fundamentals of compass work, a skill that will open up a whole new world of adventure.

Then we'll head out to Richmond Park where you'll put your new skills to the test with hands-on navigation challenges designed to build real world confidence quickly.

Outdoor atire is recomended as this session runs rain or shine, so check the weather and dress acordingly, please also pack snacks and drinks to keep you fuelled. Don't forget to pack an Expedition-type compass, or purchase one from us in store before we set off.

All participants will receive a 90 day free trial of OS Maps app.
