Darley Park - Saturday 8 June 2024
MapActive Navigation Course Stage 2
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 8th and Saturday 15th June to become a more confident map reader and explore new trails, woods or urban areas.
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.
