This course is for people who are ready for a new kind of challenge. We will head out into the dark and learn how to use the features we can see and the lay of the ground to navigate with a map at night. This is good preparation for 24 hour challenges, ultra marathons and adventure races which involve travelling in the mountains at night.
Skills we cover include: pacing, taking and following compass bearings, using handrails and catching features and route choice.
Course location is Hamsterley Forest
Course fee is £30
