MTR Land Navigation Clinic

Description:

 

NSP Mountain Travel and Rescue

Land Navigation Clinic

Sunday May 4th, Abenaki Ski Area

390 Pine Hill Rd, Wolfeboro, NH

Want to build your navigation skills?
Improve your ability to use a map, compass, and GPS?

NSP Eastern Division MTR Instructors will lead a day-long clinic of fun and challenging activities using elements of Orienteering and Geocaching. Participants will be able to choose from a number of exercises in your areas of need and interest to practice skills vital to safely navigating in the backcountry. Instructors will be on hand to teach, guide, and coach but the focus will be hands-on in the field. There will be some online foundational review required so that field work can be most effective. We will gather on the Wednesday evening before, on Zoom, for any questions and answers.

Cost: $25 NSP member. $30 non-member.

Schedule:
8-9 Registration
9-12 Field Exercises
12-1 BYO Lunch and Social Time
1-4 Field Exercises
4-430 Wrap Up

The MTR Program uses Freedom of the Hills as our foundation text. The 10th Edition is the most current. There are also many other excellent resources for learning navigation. So purchase is not required.

Please come prepared for the weather, rain or shine. Expect to be walking in forest and field over sometimes rough and uneven ground on the ski slope.

Links for online work and Zoom will be provided April 14th for those registered. Please email questions to Craig Garland, by selecting MTR Advisor from the Contact Us list.

End Time: 4:30 pm

Date: May 4, 2025
