Navigation Courses

An advanced navigation course on Dartmoor will allow you to progress into more remote areas of the British mountains. You will quickly realise how complex terrain can get and how wild weather, featureless terrain and even darkness can challenge our navigation. The likelihood of getting lost is a present danger and in poor visibility, everything looks the same. So how can we navigate when we are blinded by nature itself?
