INTRO TO NAVIGATION - BEGINNER'S MAP READING
DATE / DURATION: SATURDAY 24TH MARCH
PRICE £35 PER PERSON
VENUE: GOWER
SPACES: 8 AVAILABLE
Our 'Intro to Nav' course as we affectionately call it, is one of our most popular courses, with our most courses selling out quickly. So many people reach a point where they feel their Hill and Mountain walking has become limited due to the inability to interpret an Ordnance Survey map. Walking up and down Pen Y Fan is fine if that's your thing, but everyone reaches a point where they want to plan and design their own route, and enjoy the freedom of the hills. This course will provide you with all of the fundamentals of map interpretation so that you can develop into an independent Hill walker, accessing the mountain safely and with the map as a friend. Map Reading is not a 'dark art' ! To secure your place, email info@treadgower.com to express your interest or book
