MCofS Navigation Courses near Inverness

The MCofS has places available on its navigation courses at Contin near Inverness over the weekend of 13 and 14 June. These one-day courses are available to MCofS members for £35 and non-members for £45 which includes a year’s membership and subscription to the Scottish Mountaineer magazine.

The courses are designed for hillwalkers who want to brush up on navigation, increase confidence on the hill, and pick up handy hints and techniques to locate yourself on the hill in poor visibility. Each course starts with a gentle introduction to the theory followed by a practical session on the hill. Ratios are 1:6 and there are spaces for 12 people per course (the minimum age is 18 years). The courses aim to introduce or refresh essential navigation skills. Participants will need to be equipped for a day out on the hill with food and drink, boots, gaiters, waterproof jacket and overtrousers, warm hat and gloves. Maps, map cases and compasses will be provided. Booking details can be found on the MCofS website.
