A practical one day introduction to map reading on the South Downs with expert walking company Pied A Terre Adventures, aimed at those with little or no experience of using a map and compass.
Held in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, the aim of this fun introductory navigation course is to enable you to navigate safely and competently and be confident enough to start exploring on your own – we want you to enjoy learning those new essential skills!
Learning is informal and relaxed, with plenty of practical experience out in the countryside, within a small group of up to 8 people. We cover around 4 to 6 miles, following paths across farmland, valleys, riversides, woodland, hills and downland. The locations we use are easily accessible from London and are convenient for public transport if required.
Your course is led by an extremely experienced and qualified outdoor instructor. We have a huge amount of experience and expertise in providing outdoor skills courses, and we are recognised as one of the leading providers in the region.
