Advanced Mountain Contour Navigation 2 day Course

Planning the next navigation leg with contour interpretation

Stephen is preparing for his ML assessment and wanted to practice navigation on steep complex mountain ground. So the course concentrated on contour interpretation on complex mountain terrain. This involves moving about the mountains by identifying features on the ground. This aids very fast navigation on ground where the compass and timings are not suitable tools to use. By building a story board Stephen and Alan managed to walk the entire length of their legs without reference to the map, learning to identify complex areas by their shape. It wasn’t long before they were ticking off these legs every time with accurately using these fast and efficient techniques. Do you want to focus on a particular part of your navigation?
