The workshop takes place on Dartmoor and will allow you to put your current navigation skill set to the test, while learning and developing your ability and confidence, opening the door to more awesome Adventures.

    We use a variety of locations and try to vary where our workshops take place. We do this for a couple of reasons.

    Firstly, to ensure the impact we have on the environment we are in is as minimal as possible.

    Secondly, we know some people may want to visit us and attend the same course a couple of times. We want to be able to facilitate your skills and Adventure in a range of places so you know you have the ability and can trust your own skills. If you have attended a workshop with us before please let us know and we will ensure the locations are changed so you can practice your skills in a new area should you wish to.

    A map with directions and meeting locations will be sent to you via email before the course. However, if you have any problems or questions please contact us.
