East Riding of Yorkshire Council’s Sport and Play Development Service is running a basic navigation skills course for people interested in learning the rudiments of map reading.
The course is priced at £50 per person and runs for five weeks, beginning on Thursday, 3 March, from 6.30 – 9pm, at Longcroft School, Beverley.
Each week the course will cover the theory and practise involved with a different aspect of map reading and navigation. The course will culminate in an assessment expedition, normally on a Saturday or Sunday.
Students will be asked to lead a short section of walk finding a number of points based on grid references, land marks and distances. This will be a chance to test people’s ability to relate the map features to the landscape and demonstrate navigation strategies.
Successful completion of the assessment will lead to a National Navigation Award Scheme Bronze level. This is a personal ability award and is not a Walking Leaders course.
For further details or a course application form, contact Brian Bate, community sports coach for outdoor pursuits, on 07899994830 or email brian.bate@eastriding.gov.uk
