A beginners navigation course for anyone who is looking to learn/improve route planning, who wants to feel more confident and safer when out walking and who wants to be able to follow a map without getting lost.
Anyone can read maps and plan realistic, achievable routes with just a few basic skills and a bit of know-how.
This is a fun course, based mainly outdoors, having a go and working together to develop and practice new skills. The route will be around the pretty town of Llandovery in Carmarthenshire, with the backdrop of the western Brecon Beacons. We will start and finish at the bookshop on the High St called Books at the Dragon’s Garden.
I am relatively new to navigation myself but I love practicing it and showing others that it is not just for experienced mountaineers or the military It’s for everyone.
Basic navigation skills help me plan sensible routes and get round safely, especially as I love to walk alone. I enjoy myself more and get more out of every walk by having just a bit of extra knowledge. It means I can explore further without needing others to show me.
I have delivered several navigation courses for The Outdoor Partnership alongside Welcome in the Wild and have a (NNAS) Navigation Silver Award.
Cost £45 per person

Hi Siobhan
That’s really strange – I’ve emailed you twice recently about the course as I know you were interested but didn’t get a reply – maybe my messages have gone to your junk email?
There are places but I need to find at least one more person for it to go ahead. It is now happening in Llandovery rather than Myddfai.
I will email you the details but please check your junk folder and let me know if don’t receive it today. Something strange going on..
If I can’t recruit anyone else I’ll let you know and we’ll discuss a date further ahead.
So glad you contacted me in the nick of time!
Lisa
