About this Course

Learn how to use a map/compass, familiarize yourself with other navigational aids (GPS, phone apps, etc.) and how to safely navigate our local wilderness areas. No prior knowledge needed, even the advanced will learn some useful tips. This “hands on” course will be conducted on the trail networks above Westwood Plateau. Be prepared for 90-120 minutes of standing for the initial theory portion followed by a three hour, 5km hike on hilly terrain at an easy pace. The trails may be a little steep in places so waterproof footwear with traction and poles are recommended.
