Night Navigation

It's all very well being able to navigate when the sky is blue and the sun is shining, but what happens when you find yourself away from the path and unable to see more than a few meters in any direction? What then??

Don't panic! On this course I will teach you how to navigate in the dark, using micro-navigation techniques which will keep you focused and safe. You will learn how to break routes down into much smaller distances and how to keep track of exactly where you are even when you can barely see anything.

A great skill to have and loads of fun to learn!

A basic level of fitness is required as we will be out on the mountain for the entire duration.

To benefit from this course you should already have a confident grasp of how to use a map and compass and how to navigate off-path during the day.

• Clothing and footwear suitable for walking in the mountains (full waterproofs and warm clothing are a must)
• A snack or two and a drink
• The Ordnance Survey map OL17 Snowdonia in 1:25,000 scale
• A baseplate compass (Silva Type 4/54 is the industry standard)
• A head torch (preferably with fresh batteries)
