Multiply Navigation FULLY FUNDED

THE COURSE

Multiply Navigation is a fully funded one-day navigation course for anyone who lives in the Scottish Highlands. It covers essential techniques and strategies necessary for navigating in the mountain environment.

The course is based in the Fort William area and includes two outdoor practical sessions.

We focus on putting navigation theory into practice on accessible yet complex ground. This way we hope to cover as much learning as possible in a single day for you. Skills covered include map-reading, contour interpretation, taking and walking on a compass bearing, plus planning and navigational strategies.

The course is delivered by local, experienced female guides who hold the Summer Mountain Leader qualification as a minimum.

Beginner to intermediate level (Complete beginners welcome). Open to all genders.

This course is fully funded through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund's Multiply Project via ‘Multiply West’ (delivered by UHI North, West and Hebrides).
