INTRODUCTION TO NAVIGATION

This 1-day course is suitable for those new to hill walking, or who have always relied on someone else to take the lead. You will learn basic navigation training such as, how to interpret maps including symbols, contour lines, grid references and scales, then discover how to relate the map to the landscape and walk a planned route.

WILDERNESS NAVIGATION

Our 1-day Wilderness Navigation course is aimed at those who already have some hill walking experience and at least a basic understanding of the use of map and compass.  This course will build on those foundations and take you to some more demanding upland ‘wild’ terrain.

TESTIMONIALS

"My daughter absolutely LOVED the Creative Crafts course, thank you! She particularly liked the fact that you taught and trusted them to use tools properly, and I loved the fact that all of the activities were so unique, and nothing she'd have done anywhere else.

She also mentioned that she thought Nicky, the instructor, was great.

It was obviously brilliantly organised, and she will definitely be signing up to future courses!"
