The course is usually 2 days, based either in Snowdonia or the Lakes and designed exclusively around your needs, taking into account previous experience and the type of walking you do and would like to do in the future. 1 day courses are always an option.

You would typically start off with;

Map setting, with and without a compass
Map reading and contour interpretation
Compass skills, taking bearings
Navigation techniques, planning routes
Aiming off, attack points
Relocation techniques, what to do when not sure where you are
Pacing and timing

This is just a quick summary of the aspects we would cover. The overall objective is to provide you with a set of skills to make you more confident and proficient with your nav.
