Navigation Courses

A navigation course on Dartmoor or another hill or mountain region in the UK will, In time, make the lines and symbols on a map start to make more sense, and your desire to stray from the footpaths will take over. Exploring beyond the paths and venturing into the mountains, away from the crowds, requires another level of skills and techniques. Getting lost once away from a path is all too real, but prevention is better than a cure! (but don't worry, I'll provide you with the cure, just in case!)
