‘Team Members Discover Frodsham Marshes’

Team Members had the opportunity today to improve Navigation Skills on the marshlands at Frodsham. The weather was unfortunately against everyone today, but as usual the rain didn’t stop the training.

The session was run by Lee Lappin, Technical Lead, and skills improved included;

- Basic map reading
- 6 & 8 figure grid references
- Walking on a bearing
- Pacing
- How to take back bearings
- Understanding contours
- Reading the landscape by the surrounding vegetation

A wet but enjoyable day for members who attended.
