Map Reading Practice | Women Only

Whether you've attended one of our Intro to Navigation courses or another beginner nav course in the past, you may be feeling a little rusty! A few hours in the hills with a qualified instructor and some peer support is just what you need to refresh your memory and practise those skills. As the saying goes, 'If you don't use it, you'll lose it!'

A good level of fitness is required for this walk of up to 6 miles with some hill climbing.

Safety:

I like to make my hikes and courses as enjoyable as possible for everyone, so I keep a slow and steady pace. It's about enjoying the process at a pace that is comfortable for all and taking in our surroundings, not racing to the finish. It is important that you are responsible for your own health and safety when you're taking part in any outdoor activity. If you are unsure as to whether you are fit to come on these hikes or courses, please either consult your doctor or let me know your concerns. You will be asked to complete a Medical & Disclaimer Form before taking part.

I am a qualified Hill and Moorland Leader and I am level 3 Outdoor First Aid trained so I will be on hand in case of an emergency.

Dogs:

No dogs allowed this time.
