Introduction to Map Reading

Our two day Introduction to Map Reading (Bronze National Navigation Award Scheme) course is ideal for those who are looking to learn all the essentials for navigating in the hills. The evening before we will also meet to have a classroom session to cover all the essentials so that everyone is ready for the two days of practical map reading. You will learn key foundation skills such as map work, basic compass skills and how to read the land and place this to the map.

The two day course will be run with no more than six people enabling us time focus on you, your map reading and your learning outcomes. You do not need to be mountain fit for the course but simply be able to enjoy two days of walking in the beautiful Highlands.
