NAVIGATION

Although there are GPS systems widely available, even on our hand-held phones, we still need to rely on a traditional map and compass.

By doing so we will be able to confidently and safely enjoy the great outdoors, including the hills and moorland of the North York Moors National Parks, as well as the remote areas and mountains across the UK.

Navigation can be skill learned young, or something that you can come to later in life- that’s why we offer something for everyone.

There is the option of individual navigation coaching, but the most popular courses are the introductory days and developmental coaching, as well as our night navigation evenings. 

Young Navigators Session

These are aimed at the young adventurer who wants to be introduced to the concepts of maps, orientating the map, route planning and walking simple routes.

Introductory course in the North York Moors

Run by one of our experienced and passionate Mountain Leaders, this is a two day programme typically offered on a weekend, or one day per week for two weeks.

On day one, we will meet indoors and introduce you to maps and define navigation. We will then get our boots on and explore the local paths and routes, whilst ensuring you are coached through the key skills of navigating on linear routes. 

On day two, we will meet at a different location and head off to develop your navigation further.

Included within this course is a Leave No Trace Awareness workshop – from which you will receive an additional certificate.

This is aimed at teenagers, families, aspiring outdoor leaders and anyone else who is wishing to gain a firm foundation of navigational ability. All maps and compasses are provided.

Developing Skills Navigation course in the North York Moor

We meet on the first morning to quickly outline of the course, before getting onto the hill to make the most of our time developing your existing skills and knowledge, with a focus on finer navigation, away from linear features, utilising the compass and your ability to measure distance over open ground.

On day two, we will meet at another location near-by and head off to consolidate your skills develop your navigation further.

Included within this course is a Leave No Trace Awareness workshop – from which you will receive an additional certificate.

This is aimed at teenagers, families, outdoor leaders and anyone else who is wishing to develop their navigation beyond large linear paths and other features and focus on the accurate use of the compass. All maps and compasses are provided.
