9-10 December 2023: INTRODUCTORY NAVIGATION COURSE

Duration: 2 days

Group Size: limited to 6

Cost: $745 per person

Meeting point: Wanaka

Instructor: Rob Frost

Have you ever found yourself accidentally off-track in the forest or thick mist and not known what to do? Or the idea of doing a trip away from marked routes makes you nervous? Join our introductory navigation course in real off-track terrain and become a confident navigator.

We’ll help you translate what the map means so you can determine how it relates to the landscape around you. We’ll go over methods for working out where you are, how to plan and follow a logical route, and how to estimate how long a route will take to travel. We’ll also show you some tips for using topomap apps on your phone, together with a few ways that a compass can help you, using a very simple method (no more remembering “do I add or subtract?”).

If at least four people sign up to this course, all participants will receive a 10% discount on the standard price.
