So you're happy with your navigation skills at an intermediate level and can happily navigate off of paths. Great! Now it's time to take it up a notch and really push yourself.
This course focuses on honing your skills for super accurate navigation. By the end of the day, when I point at a random, obscure part of your map with the tip of a blade of grass, you will be able to lead the group to the exact spot.
We will do lots of walking on lots of terrain and loads and loads of navigation. Depending on the time of year this course can also span from daylight into night time so that the last couple of hours are in the dark.
When you go to sleep after this course you will be dreaming of contour lines for a week.

A reasonable level of fitness is required as we will be walking on the mountain for most of the day and nearly all off-path.
To benefit from this course you should already have a very good grasp of how to use a map and compass and know how to navigate using contours.
