Would you like to get out and explore the countryside? This workshop starts at a 3 mile walk and no experience is necessary.
This will be a positive step for your mental health, where you’ll meet new people, enjoy nature, increase your fitness levels, learn about wildlife and understand the principles behind basic map reading. You can also learn to follow a walking route from a map and orientate yourself using a map and compass.
Observation and discussion.
There are no exams
