Maps and Compass Training Workshop
2023-02-01 10:00 - 14:00 (Europe/London) | Woodnook Centre, Royds St, Accrington BB5 2JH, Accrington, Lancashire, BB5 2JH, United Kingdom
Join Prospects and Lancashire County Council Ranger, Paul Shoreman, for a one-day orienteering training session. Paul manages around 85 sites across Lancashire and will be teaching you:

The different types of maps
Map interpretation (including symbols, distances, footpaths, access areas etc)
Information about grid references
How to use a compass
Route plotting

Throw aside those pesky apps and instead take a peak into the (perhaps) forgotten art of map reading.
There will be a combination of classroom first (at The Woodnook Centre) then out and about to practice. Dress in accordance to the forecast and wear good sturdy footwear. Bring packed lunch.
The Woodnook Centre is located at Royds Street, Accrington, BB5 2JH.
