About this activity

Navigation is the foundation of every outdoor discipline. Whether you're a complete beginner who struggles with a road map or a mountain leader working towards your award, we teach you to read terrain with confidence.

Our NNAS-accredited courses run on Dartmoor, where the lack of obvious landmarks makes every session a genuine challenge. By the end of a day with us, students read contours the way the rest of us read text.

Groups of all sizes from 6 to 40. Schools, youth groups, DofE participants, and adults wanting independence on the hills.
