Spend some time brushing up on your mapping skills.

To be sure you are not missing anything important you need to know about map symbols, scale, direction and distance. Knowing about these will help you unlock the secrets of maps. Map Reading Made Easy Peasey is a leaflet from Ordnance Survey which explains the main things you need to understand, especially when using Ordnance Survey Explorer maps at 1:25000 scale. The County Mountaineering Team is offering navigation training so please make use of this facility.
