Micro Navigation
Good navigation is the key to safe enjoyment on the mountains. It’s the art of knowing where you are, where you’re going, and how you’re going to get there. Micro navigation is about getting it all this right, down to the last detail, especially when it really matters.
Navigation is always a serious business. Did you know that thecause of the majority of accidents in the hills comes back, at some point, to a navigational error? But learning about it can be loads of fun too, and we aim to have plenty of fun on this course.
The evening workshop session will introduce you to essential navigation techniques via an informed multi-media presentation. We then get into practical hands-on learning, with map and compass, building a platform of skills to develop and practise on the mountain.
You will get quality advice and guidance on gear for the mountain day, where summer micro-navigation techniques are extensively covered along with top tips for route planning and preparation.
