Study Group for Map Reading
I am willing to lead a study group on Map Reading and Navigation for Walkers, based upon the Ordnance Survey maps. This would be designed for beginners with the aim of understanding maps, map references and how to navigate with map and compass. To make it worthwhile, there should be a minimum of 6 people.
If you would like to participate please let me know and, if there is enough interest, we could run a group early next year, say January to April, depending on what is wanted.
