The south ridge of Snowdon Navigation courses with Joe

A Great few days with Edwin in Snowdonia. Navigating in the mountains using Timings and contour interpretation and the compass. Edwin wanted to be self sufficient in the mountains. Being able to calculate the time taken on walks at the start of the day. Which he was successfully doing by the end of the navigation course. 1:1 navigation courses you learn so much more with your valuable time totally tailored to you needs. Well done Edwin. Never seen anybody learn so fast as you! Cheers Joe
