About this activity
The aim of this course is to teach you how to interpret the legends and information on IGN maps, how to use a compass, and how to combine the two. This will enable you to plan your outings at home, map out your route, adapt it once you’re out in the field, and find your way with confidence. And even if you end up using a smartphone, reading the map backgrounds will be much easier.

The day will begin with an introduction to how to read maps and use a compass. We will then head straight out into the field for a group practical session, where we will navigate to specific points and plan a route, identifying landmarks and pitfalls to avoid.
