Wat je gaat doen
Navigation starts with learning about the tools required, the map and the compass. You will learn how to orientate a map using features and the compass. You will begin by noting all the necessary features on the map to plot a safe route. This will include feature identification, measuring distances on the map and the ground and ticking them off as they are passed.
The next step is to understand contours and how to use them in practice by looking at the features they represent. You will learn about slopes, their aspects and steepness then move on to depressions, knolls and ring contours and re-entrants.
Finally we will use the compass to take a bearing a back bearing and being able to walk on a bearing.
The day culminates in you plotting a route on a map then following it on the ground. You will apply all the skills you have learned and successfully navigate yourself.

Waar je naartoe gaat
We will begin with an indoor session to practice with the tools of the trade. Once the skills are practiced in theory we will then apply them in practice by follwing a local route outside. Finally you will set a route and follow it in the local countryside. All of this is done under the close supervision and support of your instructor.
