Thread: Navigation with compass and map

So I have organized a bit of an introductory weekend to navigation for MYK on the 10-11th October. Anyone else keen? I could realistically have another 3-4 without it getting to big (utilizing my vehicle).

General plan is to cover:

Day One-
Map to ground
Use of compass
Resections
Open country navigation
Route planning and selection

Day 2 -
Close country navigation
Finish the day with a bit of a stalk over a set route planned the night before???

Maps will be provided as well as reference material. You just need to bring yourself a compass and enough gear to last a night in the bush.

At the end you will take away some pretty good hands on experience and a detailed "how to guide" for future reference.

Oh we will be meeting in Waiouru and head off from there, say 10am.

Keen pending other commitments. Anyone else from Wellington want to come and split gas to Waiberia?
