Just got back in from the first day of a Hill and Moorland Leader Assessment on Dartmoor that I am directing for Wet and High Adventures Ltd . Wet, misty and eventually dark gave me plenty of opportunities to test the the candidates navigation ability.

Out on Exmoor for the second day of the Hill and Moorland Leader Training I am directing for Wet and High Adventures Ltd . After our morning weather briefing we split into two groups and Mark took one and I the other. After a whole day of navigation on both 1:50k and 1:25k maps, we had a food break before heading back out into darkness. Some night navigation and looking at Google Sky Map was a great way to end a very long day.

On Day 1 of a Bridgwater College residential, after a trip to the supermarket and travelling down to Dartmoor we jumped in the River Plym for a group exercise. Only 2 students choose to take part in the optional night nav exercise from 10pm to just gone midnight
