Markeaton Park - Saturday 10 May 2025
MapActive Navigation Course
About this event
Learn orienteering techniques for hill walking, fell running or mountain marathons
Join Stage 1 of our MapActive course which will take place on Saturday 3rd and Saturday 10th May to become a more confident map reader and explore new trails, woods or urban areas.
From little or no orienteering experience participants will develop an understanding of orienteering maps and how to use them. There are also Thursday evening follow-up Zoom sessions to answer any questions and reinforce learning.
Participants will learn how to:
- relate features on the map to the ground
- choose and follow a route using line features (handrails – e.g. paths, fences).
- progress to following routes to checkpoints on and not far off handrails and to cut corners between handrails
This is Stage 1 of the course which must be pre-entered. Learn more here.
