Join us for a day of discovery and learning in the stunning Coniston Fells of the Lake District. This session is designed for those wanting to improve their navigation skills, whether you're new to the outdoors or simply looking to refine your techniques. We’ll focus on the essentials of navigation, from understanding maps and compasses to developing the confidence to navigate independently in the hills.
The day will begin with a briefing where you’ll learn about the basics of navigation, including map reading, compass use, and understanding grid references. As we head out onto the fells, you’ll put theory into practice, learning to navigate varied terrain. By the end of the session, you'll feel confident identifying key features, plotting routes, and adjusting to real-world conditions, all while enjoying the breathtaking scenery of the Lake District.
The session takes place on the beautiful Coniston Fells, located in the southern part of the Lake District National Park. Known for its rugged terrain and sweeping views, this area is ideal for learning navigation in a real-world setting. Parking and meeting points will be provided upon booking confirmation.
We pride ourselves on offering hands-on, practical training that’s accessible and enjoyable. We are not only highly qualified but also passionate about the outdoors, ensuring you get the most from your day. Whether you're aiming to feel more confident in the hills or simply want to learn a new skill, our sessions are designed to empower you with the knowledge and confidence to navigate independently.
