  1. Navigation I

  2. Nav 1_1: Maps, Scale and Distance

  3. Learning Intention: To familiarise you with the main features of an Ordnance Survey map.

  4. Success Criteria: By the end of this session everyone should be able to: • Explain the purpose of a map; • Describe the basic layout and features of an Ordnance Survey map; • Show which way is Northon an OS Map; • Calculate distanceson a 1:50 000 OS map. Some of you may be able to: • Describe the difference between True North, Grid North and Magnetic North.

  5. Activities: Brainstorm: What is a map? Introduction to the 1:50k Landranger Scale & Calculating Distances

  6. Nav 1_2: OS Map Symbols

  7. Learning Intention: To familiarise you with the main OS map symbols relevant to mountain navigation.

  8. Success Criteria: By the end of this session everyone should be able to: • Locate and use the keypanel on an OS map; • Identify 12-24 OS map symbols relevant to mountain navigation. Some of you may be able to: • Identify 25+ OS map symbols relevant to mountain navigation.

  9. Activities: • Presentation. What are map symbols for? • Symbol Recognition • Feedback & Key Points

  10. Nav 1_3: Grid References

  11. Learning Intention: To enable you to use 6-figure grid references to locate and give the location of features on an OS map.

  12. Success Criteria: By the end of this session everyone should be able to: • Locate a point on an OS map using a 6-figure grip reference; • Give the location of a point on an OS map using a 6-figure grid reference. Some of you may be able to: • Explain the OS National Grid system and find the 2-letter code for a map section.

  13. Activities: • Presentation: Grid References. • Group task, Handbook p. 21 • Feedback & Key Points

  14. Nav 1_4: Contours

  15. Learning Intention: To enable you to understand and interpret contour lines on an OS map.

  16. Success Criteria: By the end of this session everyone should be able to: • Identify and state the purpose of contour lines on an OS map; • Use contour lines to calculate the height of any given point. Some of you may be able to: • Interpret the profile of a contoured feature and identify common geographical features from their contours/profiles.

  17. Activities: • Presentation/Discussion: Hills of Braemar • Calculating Heights • Contour Interpretation

  18. Nav 1_5: Basic Compass Skills

  19. Learning Intention: To enable you to use a Silva Mk 4 compass to aid map navigation.

  20. Success Criteria: By the end of this session everyone should be able to: • Describe the key features of a Silva Mk. 4 compass; • Use a compass to set a map to Magnetic North. Some of you may be able to: • Describe common problems when using a compass.
