Sure, normally we do run on trails. But sometimes we see that peak in the distance and just have to see the view from atop. Going off trail poses a big risk though - will you be able to remember which direction you came from?
I'll be organizing a series of navigation clinics throughout the year, with the first coming up on Tuesday March 3, 6:30 pm, at the Downtown YMCA. This classroom clinic will focus on using a compass, reading a topo map, and making smart route choices. Then we'll put your newfound knowledge to test with a special orienteering course out at Booker T Washington State Park on Saturday March 7, from 9-11am.
Both events are suitable for beginners or those looking to brush up on their nav skills, and are free & open to the public.
