Beginners Navigation Course ~ Peak District (April)

Come and join us for a one-day beginners navigation course in the beautiful Peak District.
This practical, hands-on course will give you the skills and confidence to explore the dales, moors, and mountains—whether on your own or with family and friends. What you’ll learn on our 1 day course:

• Map Reading – Understand map symbols, scales, and key features (like roads, walls, and rivers) to guide your journey.

• Compass Skills – Learn how to use a compass and pair it with a map to stay on track.

• Timing & Pacing – Estimate distances and walking times accurately.

• Route Planning – Create and follow your own walking routes, including quieter paths away from the crowds.

• Navigation Strategies – Develop practical techniques to plan and implement safe, enjoyable walks.

We’ll start the day with a welcome and short classroom session at the Penny Pot Café, before heading outdoors to put your new skills into practice.
At the end of the day, we’ll return to the café for a relaxed drink and a review of what you’ve learned.
