I and Brian, if he is available, will be running some navigation training evenings at the club. This set provides priority for people who were not able to obtain place on the course in October.
The first two weeks will be for OS map skills. The second two weeks for navigation chart skills. It is not necessary to attend the OS maps evenings if you are already experienced in using OS maps including bearings.

Hi Jane
I now can't make the 4th and 11th April. Hopefully someone can fill the space.
Enjoyed the first two sessions thank you.
Hi Jane and Brian,
I also cannot make the next 2 sessions. I am on holiday from the 5th April and feel I need to stay safe. I thoroughly enjoyed the the map reading sessions, they were fun and I learnt a great deal from these sessions. Thank you
