Be prepared for the Scottish summer walking season.  Spend a day in the Border hills learning and using navigation techniques that will help keep you safe in the mountains.  We will walk in a small group (max 6).  During the day we will cover the following:

• feature identification
• orientating the map
• interpreting contours
• grid references
• taking and following a bearing
• route choice
• timing  
• measuring distances
• relocation

To help you get the most out of the day you will be given a compass and map case to use and keep at the end of the day.  You will also be provided with a printed map of the area and a review sheet covering some of the important skills of the day.

The cost of the course is £45 and is payable on the day.
