Beginner Navigation

Understanding how to read a map is an essential skill for navigation. Maps provide valuable information about terrain, landmarks, and routes, helping you find your way. My Beginner Navigation course will help you familiarise yourself with the map's symbols and legend key, which indicate features like roads, parks, paths and water bodies.

Night Navigation

Night map reading skills are crucial for safe navigation after dark. Familiarise yourself with the map's layout and key features before heading out, as visibility can be limited. Utilising a flashlight or headlamp can help illuminate the map, while allowing you to stay aware of your surroundings. Practice these skills to boost your confidence in navigating at night and ensure a successful adventure.
