I have been joined by Will and Gary today for a couple of days of navigation skills here in Snowdonia. Will is out with me all week whilst Gary is here for the two days. Today we headed up onto the Crimpiau above Capel Curig and looked at basic navigational skills such as measuring distance on the map and the ground, interpreting contours, setting navigational legs, using tick features, backstop features, how to take a bearing and some more general hill skills too. It stayed dry all morning and we had some rain this afternoon which was good as it reduced our visibility for practising taking bearings!
