Workshop - Navigation Essentials

Sun 22nd November 2026

A collage of four images: Top left shows a map in a grassy area; top right has the words "TECHNIQUES, SERIES, NAVIGATION" overlaying a mountainous landscape; bottom left depicts a scenic view of fields and hills; bottom right features a hand holding a compass. Two people hike along a path bordered by tall grass, heading towards a distant farm building amidst golden crop fields. The sky is bright blue with scattered white clouds. Hills and a forested area are visible in the background, creating a serene rural scene. A map lies open on a grassy field scattered with yellow wildflowers. The background features green rolling hills under a clear sky, giving a serene and pastoral setting. Two individuals are outdoors, engaged in navigating a map. The person on the left wears a bright pink jacket and gloves, while the person on the right, in a hat and dark jacket, looks at the map and holds a compass or phone. They are in an open grassy area with fields in the background. A group of people stand outdoors in a circle, attentively looking at a man pointing at maps. They are dressed in outdoor clothing suitable for hiking or running. Trees, a building, and a fence are visible in the background, suggesting a rural or park setting. A group of people dressed in athletic gear are gathered outdoors. They are looking intently at maps as one person in a cap and jacket makes notes on a map. The background includes trees and a tall stone structure. A group of people jogs down a grassy, slightly muddy path in a hilly countryside landscape. They wear bright athletic clothing and run in a line, with expansive fields and scattered trees under a cloudy sky in the background.

Organiser's Description

Ever got fed up with doing extra distance in a race because you took the wrong turn?! Always just following the people ahead of you? Or maybe you just want to get to grips with map reading. In this series we will be teaching you navigation methods as well as practical tips of how to stay on the right path in wild areas of the UK and Europe as well as understanding how this can practically relate to trail running. We all hear far too often of people getting lost in the hills either in races or just indeed on leisurely hikes. Even a GPS has limited capacity in route finding but with the right knowledge you can be the ultimate GPS!

On this morning workshop (as featured in Live for the Outdoors) you will be taught the essentials of navigating with a map by a qualified International Mountain Leader and Gold Duke of Edinburgh Assessor. The first part of the morning is based near Church Farm Cafe, in the quintessentially English village of Aldbury. Once you’ve learnt some of the basics we move onto the trails to provide practical experience. The workshop will finish around midday.
