Wilderness Navigation Level II – Navigating with Map & Compass

Join The Friends on another one-day course, as we build on the skills and knowledge you acquired during the Level I session and introduce the use of the compass.

Topics will include navigating cross-country using offsets and backstops, measuring bearings on the map and from the ground, determining, setting magnetic declinations and marching on a bearing.

This instruction will be confirmed through a challenging map and compass march to off-trail points within the Park.

NOTE – you will need your own Compass for this course. We can loan you a compass, but you should learn on your own kit. Information as to recommended compass will be passed upon registration.

Students are kindly asked to email the Chief Instructor upon purchase to ensure timely passage of information.   dglucas@outlook.com
