| Map Setting Lesson 1 – Alan’s Team wonder where they are? |
If You Go Down To The Woods Today…..
10 brave members of the junior squad took part in the training at Hillsborough Forest Park on Sat 9 Feb. The focus of the day was keeping the map set while on the move so we head in the right direction all the time. We practiced this using the features on the ground and relating those to the map. We also got some useful compass skills practice in. Of course it all started with a circuit training session on a hill!! To spice it up athletes had to complete a game of matching the features on a card to the map symbols while sprinting up and down the hill. Then we spilt into two groups (Alan’s and Alison’s) before taking off into the woods. Best of all the rain stayed away.
