Navigation Skills for the Hills
Coaching & courses > Navigation Skills for the Hills
An essential course for those wishing to develop the skills to navigate effectively and with confidence in mountainous terrain.
Most walkers and climbers will have a familiarity with maps and compass principals but often lack the essential skills of pacing, timing, relocation and navigation in poor visibility, which are necessary to deal with the great variety of conditions that UK mountaineering throws at us.
Navigation is a skill that requires practice and on going maintenance, so let us point you in the right direction.
With a focus on the core skills of using map & compass, the principals of timing & pacing, taking bearings, relocation and planning routes will be taught, allowing the individual to navigate confidently in all conditions.
We will be running various courses throughout the year, to enquire further or to book your place now contact our reception team on 0131 333 6333.
Pre-requirements: Ability to complete a 6 hour hill day.
