OAS Courses:

Confidence with Navigation

This course is for anyone who is unsure  of what navigation skills they should have as a minimum to enjoy moorland and hill terrain both on and off established footpaths. It is designed to improve participants' confidence in using a map to aid safe travel on open ground during normal daylight and sometimes in poor weather.

​

Developing your Navigation

​This course is for walkers who have limited experience of navigating on open, moorland & hill terrain. With a mid-morning start, participants will revise their basic skills and then use these skills in failing light conditions as they leave the hill late towards the early evening.
