This course is for you if:

- you're a complete novice at map reading or want to refresh your knowledge;

- you think you have a terrible sense of direction;

- you're fed up with your partner  saying you can't read a map;

- you just love being outdoors in the company of supportive women;

- you want a day out of the office / house, to do some foraging & learn some new skills. 

How did previous participants feel at the end of this day course?

"Nourished..."  "Inspired...." "I've fallen in love with maps..." "Much more confident & excited to continue learning..."

A one-day course to give you the confidence and skills to safely navigate while outdoors in a lowland environment. 

Expect lots of hands-on practice with opportunities to learn how to plan a route, read a map, use a compass, work out timings and orientate yourself when lost.  

As a passionate forager, I'll also be sharing about the wild plants and native trees that we find on our route. 

Don’t worry if you know nothing about maps or navigation – we’ll start from scratch. This course is fun, informal & ideal for beginners or those wanting to refresh their knowledge with a supportive instructor.

You don’t need to be super fit to participate, but you should be comfortable being on your feet most of the day with a day pack, and able to walk comfortably (but slowly) for around 5 hours.  

This is a women only event. 

Location - Bramley area, Guildford
