Night Navigation Course

Having the ability to navigate in reduced visibility and at night is incredibly empowering (and fun!).  Whether you’re preparing for a night time running event, want to get more out of the day as the nights draw in or want the confidence of having the ability to get yourself off the hill if things went wrong , then this course is for you. 

Our night navigation sessions are run after the clock’s go back to make the most of the earlier dark nights and usually run for 3 to 4  hours starting at 7pm.  We’ll meet on the edge of Kinder Scout or Bleaklow in the Dark Peak and then head out across the hills in the darkness. 

During the session we’ll take a  look at some of the advanced navigation course topics but there’ll be much more emphasis on micro-navigation including:

  • In this course there will be much more focus on pacing and timing techniques 
  • Identifying features on the ground to the map and the map to the ground – in the dark!
  • Examination of navigation strategies and relocation in darkness, and poor weather
  • Emergency procedures and escape plans

Cost £50 per person (max 4 people, no minimum numbers)
