On Sunday, I had the privilege of running a bespoke 1 day introduction to navigation / map reading workshop for the
We had a group of people with mixed abilities and experience in map reading, some had a little to no experience, but some had a good amount of experience, so for them the day was a refresher.
We started the day looking at the basics, such as setting the map to ground, identifying features and taking grid references. Then throughout the day we built on those skills and progressively worked our way through a range of skills sets.
Overall the whole day was fantastic, with everyone working hard and trying their best. With opportunities to work collectively as little teams and also independently on a range of tasks and navigational challenges.
For me personally the day was the best! I got to spend it walking in an area I love, but also I got to spend it with a great bunch of people, they were all super friendly an keen to learn, which just made the whole day perfect!
For anyone who loves running or wants to get into running and they live in the hungerford area, please check out hungerford running club. They're such a friendly and welcoming group of people.
Plus after this weekends navigation training, I'd be more than happy to follow them on a run in the wilderness 🏞🏃♀️🏃🏼
Can't wait for the next two group session and meeting more of their club members, and helping them gain some valuable map reading skills.
