Be the first to review this event

The best test of your navigation skills is always when the weather comes in or when dusk falls on the mountains, when you still have a distance left to travel - the only way to fully prepare for these eventualities is to practice your skills in these situations. Our night navigation courses offer the perfect controlled environment, giving you the best opportunity to learn these skills under our expert tuition.

Is this the course for you?

This course is aimed at people with existing navigational experience, although it is perfectly suited to being combined with our one or two day navigation training courses.

The Lake District Walker will provide all navigational equipment, although if you have your own it is a good idea to bring it along as it's far better to learn with your own.

What will I learn?

There is much to learn on our Night Navigation Courses:

  • Micro navigation techniques
  • Route planning
  • Time, distance and speed calculations
  • Compass techniques
  • Aiming off, handrails and search techniques
  • Emergency action plans

Each participant will be required to bring suitable equipment for their chosen event, please see Equipment Required.
