Do you want to learn to navigate with a map and compass? Do you want to read a map with confidence?

Over two jam-packed days, you’ll learn some of the skills essential for off and on-track navigation and build your confidence in finding your way in the bush and making wise decisions in an outdoor environment.

Like a detective in a story, you’ll be equipped with skills and knowledge to find the clues to solve the mysteries of where am I? How do I get where I want to go? And how long will it take me?
