Overview

Do you want to lead walks for GYBO, but aren't confident in your map-reading skills?

Then join us for a navigation walk from Hovingham, where we'll show you how to relate what you see on the map to what you see around you, and to use that to find your way around a walk. The walk itself is a fairly easy one, with just a couple of small hills, but some paths may be muddy so please be prepared.

We recommend you join us for the Zoom session beforehand on Wednesday 28 February, especially if you haven't used Ordnance Survey maps much before, where we'll be covering a lot of the theory (see the Events page for more details).

You don't have to be a new leader to take part ... people who have led walks in the past but want to brush up on their skills are welcome to join in!
