Richard and I are leading a navigation day walk graded Medium on Saturday 11 May at Otaki Forks. We’re going to head up and down some untracked ridges on the true left (southern) side of the Waiotauru river, in the Pukeatua vicinity.
This day walk is for you if:
1. You’re not totally sure how to take a bearing (with your compass) but you’re keen to learn and have moderate fitness. We’ll spend some time practicing bearings and will also focus on terrain awareness.
2. You need a bit more practice with navigation to feel confident to lead a trip. There will be chances to take the lead and plenty of time to make (and correct!) mistakes.
