Have you been orienteering for a little while?Ā  But still (whisper it) a bit unsure how to get the best out of your compass?Ā 

Bit baffled by the wiggly brown contour lines?Ā 

Basically, is your control-finding a bit of a treasure hunt for orange & white flags? Ā 

A bit ā€œsure itā€™s over there somewhere, Iā€™ll figure it out when I get thereā€.

Youā€™re maybe quite good at Orange courses, but then Green all gets a bit ā€œhit & hopeā€?

Would you like to learn some nifty insightful map-reading skills?

Hereā€™s a training session thatā€™s a bit differentā€¦

Itā€™s a full-day, small group session.  It is a walking day.  No running allowed!!  Come prepared with layers / lunch / suncream / waterproofs for a full day on the hillside.  Weā€™ll be moving slowly, stopping and discussing lots.  We stay together, we learn from each other.

The Meelmore map is brilliant, lots of information on it.  Weā€™ll go slow enough to read all the little wiggles.  Get the confidence to pick off every feature as we go.  Learn how to plant your two feet on the ground and say ā€œIā€™m definitely in the right placeā€ even when thereā€™s no flag.
