Come and try an introductory navigation course for hill runners.

This is aimed for runners wanting to learn basic map reading, using a compass and looking at picking routes.

We will meet in Arrochar, Loch Long car park at 9.30am.  Please note there is a car park charge for this car park (not included). Consider car sharing or alternatively the train station is just a 20 minute walk along the road.

Please come dressed in your running gear (there will be a lot of stopping to talk about navigation as we go, so please pack a warm layer, hat, gloves and waterproofs as well as water and food/snacks for yourself) and we will go for a run!

The ground will likely be very wet, so good grippy trail shoes will be great.

Maps will be supplied, if you have a compasss please bring that along, but there will also be spares available on the day.

Places are very limited. Just 10 spots available at the subsidised rate of £10 per person.
