Map & Compass navigation practice hike of 1 day
Have you participated in Map & Compass navigation course?
Did you gain some knowledge in the past and did it sink in?
Want some more practice before going out on your own?
Then this is the day to refresh your knowledge.
In an active day outside, we repeat bowl fitting techniques.
After a brief refresher explanation, you will quickly get to work on your own.
With map and compass we walk a nice route from NS station Driebergen-Zeist to NS station Maarn.
Along the way, all the techniques will come along and you will mostly do it yourself, including our support.
You will go out independently or with a small group.
Map and compass in hand, shoes in the sand.
We make sure there are lots of practice exercises.
Along the way are posts where the instructors are and you can ask questions.
We arrange the compasses a challenging route and maps.
We start at 10 and finish at 4.
Will you join us? Sign up soon.
