Trust the Compass

Getting ready to enter the woods
Luke returns successfully

10 Juniors took part in compass training at Hillsborough Forest Park. This was an extension of the cones exercise from the last session. Like the cones exercise the course was made from a grid of 9 control sites but this time they were in the forest and some 50 – 100m apart. Juniors had loop courses to complete. They had to use the compass to keep the map set and make their way through the forest, without using the paths, to locate the next control site.
Rachel heads in at speed.
