Course overview
Course description
Consider the meaning of map scales. The online course will then take you on two virtual walks in the Derbyshire countryside during which we will examine the range of observations and skills that can be applied to ensure good navigation.
Knowledge of the symbols for a range of rights of way will be deployed during the virtual walks along with a consideration of the ways that roads, woodland, water features, buildings and field boundaries are shown. The course involves a 2 hour practical exercise to be completed by all learners in their local area and the feedback and reflection on this exercise will contribute to whole-group learning as well as identifying key issues to be re-visited in the final session.
Safety and responsible use of the environment are embedded throughout the course. The course will explore the elements of good planning to ensure safe, manageable varied and healthy countryside experiences.
Following the course, we recommend that you consolidate your learning through continuing to practise the skills covered.
Staying safe and gaining maximum well-being benefit from your country walks.
