Suitable for beginners and experienced walkers alike, our comprehensive 1-day Peak District Navigation Course aims to build your skills and give you the confidence to plan your own walks and head outside. The valleys and high, wild moorland on our doorstep offer wonderful navigational challenges and great venues for learning.

From our Peak District training centre, our expert instructors begin with the essentials of map reading, looking at scales, contours and Rights Of Way, before progressing to compass techniques, navigation strategies and effective relocation methods on a quality day in the hills.

This one day Navigation Course will introduce you to the fundamental skills of navigation and give you experience of using these new found skills in the beautiful Peak District. An initial, short, theory session in our training centre is followed by a full day out on the hills giving you plenty of opportunity to practise and gain advice and encouragement from our experienced instructors. By the end of the day you will have a solid grounding in map reading techniques and some experience of using a compass.
