Course Overview
Discover how to use an ordnance survey map to plan a walk, understand countryside footpaths and rights of way. Practice your skills on a gentle walk. Saturday 10am-4pm
If you would like to learn how to read and interpret an Ordnance Survey map to plan nature walks.
Prosp Is This Right For Me
The course aims to enable learners to: 1. plot a walking route on an ordnance survey map. 2. estimate the time taken to complete the route. 3. identify map symbols, footpaths, and rights of way. 4. complete a walk using the map, compass, and route card.
Prosp What Will I Learn
The morning session will be at the CLMK Learning Centre (CLC), 555 Silbury Boulevard, Milton Keynes, MK9 3HL. The Centre is next to the Central library. There is a separate access to the left of the library front entrance. The afternoon session will enable you to practise your learning, with support, on a gentle walk in the countryside near Woburn. I do not anticipate any difficulties on the walk but please be aware that it is undertaken at your own risk. Parking at Woburn will be in the public car park in the centre of the village, opposite the Church (GR 925336.) There is no parking charge, and we can share cars from Milton Keynes if necessary.

If rain is forecast, please bring a waterproof top layer. Please bring a small rucksack, if you have one, to carry a bottle of water and a light snack. I will carry a first aid kit and bring a spare rucksack. Lunch: You can purchase items in the Centre MK or bring a packed lunch to eat in the CLC, there are tea/coffee facilities nearby.
