Good navigation is
the key to safe enjoyment of 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 all this right,
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, withmap and compass, building a
platform of skills to develop andpractise on the mountain.
You will get quality advice and guidance on gear for the mountain day, where
summer micro-navigation techniques areextensively covered along with
top tips for route planning and preparation.

Comments
Just a quick note
to say thank you for an excellent
course, Stuart made everything enjoyable
and was an excellent instructor.
I really enjoyed my time.
The only problem is that I
did not want to come back to work
at all! I’m still on a high and will be for many weeks.
Stuart Grieve, Worthing
