Darley Park - Saturday 7 June 2025
MapActive Navigation Course
About this event
Learn orienteering techniques for hill walking, fell running or mountain marathons
Join Stage 2 of our MapActive course which will take place on Saturday 7th (Darley Park) and Saturday 14th June (Allestree Park) to become a more confident map reader and explore new trails, woods or urban areas. There are also Thursday evening follow-up Zoom sessions to answer any questions and reinforce learning.
Participants progressing from Stage 1 (and those with a more in-depth understanding of orienteering maps) will learn skills such as:
- Visualising map information and simplifying it to make route choices more quickly.
- Using ‘attack’ points to help to find controls away from handrails (e.g. paths, fences).
- Basic understanding of how slopes and valleys are shown on maps using contours.
This is Stage 2 of the course which must be pre-entered. Learn more here.
