Ok lets teach you people how to Navigate! The last session was just a bit of fun, the weather, however was too good to impart any useful knowledge. hence this session.
The Plan: Theres a few hills behind Belfast, Cave Hill, Black Mountain and Divis. These are perfect for nav training, they're close and you can drive most of the way up them! I propose heading up Divis (the one with the phone mast) on Sunday evening where you can all play with maps and compasses in the dark.
Itinerary: Meet a PEC at 4/5 Do a short session inside, explaining exactly what to do with a map and compass. Drive to Divis Go for a Walk
Requirements: Head torch (it gets dark early) waterproofs boots
This is open to anyone so if your nav is shocking or you just fancy a stroll of a Sunday evening, do come along!
Space is limited to cars volume so as before, if you have a car you are my friend!!!

Love divis! Nice place to practice nav and if its a clear night the view from the top is very rewarding. I dont mind driving up.

Would love to go - but have a Scout Leaders meeting from 2 until dunno when! Doubt I'd be able to get over before you leave! Blast my schedule at times - no work/events for weeks and then it all hits me at one time! Will let you know if I can get over for this...

Right, I've fucked up my knee using a pavement and a bike. Ronan or Colleen, do you want to still go out with people?
