Become a confident map reader

Learn navigation skills for hill walking, fell running or ultra endurance events

Confidently explore new trails, woods or urban areas

This map reading course will show you how.

The programme is suitable for adults and young persons of school year 5 and above (8 yr olds+) who are either complete beginners or already have some map reading experience and want to learn some more advanced skills.

The course is held in and around Nottingham and involves face-to-face coaching and a couple of local orienteering events where participants can try out their newly acquired skills.  There are also mid-week follow-up Zoom sessions to answer any questions and reinforce learning.

The course is in two stages, each designed to progressively build competence and confidence in map reading and fundamental navigation.

All NOC coaching is led by Hilary Palmer and Anthony Squire who both have considerable experience coaching orienteering at all levels from beginner to elite, and both continue to successfully compete at national level for their age class.

All the details are in the MapActive Course Brochure.
