The MCofS will be offering two of their popular one-day navigation courses for members in September. These are an ideal way of helping you gain or brush up on the essential skills for finding your way about in the mountains.
A one-day MCofS navigation course will give you 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.
By the end you will have learned the skills of map reading and compass bearings, picked up handy hints and techniques for locating yourself on the hill in poor visibility, and increased your confidence in finding your way on the hill.
This autumn the MCofS are running two courses in September, on Saturday 27th and Sunday 28th, near Contin, in the Inverness area. Places on these courses usually go quickly, and advance booking is essential. You can find out all about the courses and the booking details here.
