This course is for those already have some experience map reading and navigating and who want to be confident in poor visibility away from footpaths on remote, poorly defined terrain.
You will develop skills required to navigate to detailed features, such as specific contour features and be masters in using pacing and timing to walk a route.
You will learn complex navigation strategies such as back bearings and using aspect of slope to identify your location, as well as gain the confidence to navigate in poor visibility and darkness.
The course will cover:
Utilise contours and fine detail as the prime method of navigation.
Accurately follow a route, judge distance, check progress against time, use relevant compass skills and maintain continuous map contact.
Use back bearings and transits to confirm the current position.
Use aspect of slope as an aid to relocation.
Select appropriate techniques within an overall navigation strategy.
Navigate in intricate terrain in reduced visibility i.e. mist or darkness.
Select an appropriate, safe route in relation to height gain and loss, dangerous terrain and other major hazards.
Assess the route ahead in the field in relation to prevailing conditions or changing circumstances (e.g. weather, time, daylight, ability/fitness) and re-plan the route appropriately if necessary.
Shorten a route, use an escape route and know emergency procedures.
Recognise the occurrence of a navigational error within a few minutes and apply appropriate relocation techniques.
Select appropriate clothing, equipment and first aid for walking in remote areas in all weather conditions.
The course will be delivered on open moorland through above the Holme Valley close to both Holmfirth and Saddleworth to aid navigation practice, so be prepared to be out on the hill.
The course will be delivered by a qualified Mountain Leader, Emily Thompson. Emily is also a qualified first aider and mountain rescue team member.
