Night Navigation Experience - Learn how to go walking at night!
Friday 10th February 2023 from 18:45pm to 21:45pm
Blacksmiths Arms - Lastingham
Anserdale Lane, Lastingham, North Yorkshire, YO62 6TN
Join expert leaders from Large Outdoors for a fun few hours navigating the hills, moorlands and woods long after the sun has gone down. We’ll teach you the ins and outs of navigating at night, sharing invaluable tips and methods to help you confidently find your way.
Over 3 hours of learning with a small group, you’ll improve your night navigation abilities under the stars in a designated International Dark Sky Reserve.
On the way, you could spend some time stargazing, listening out for wildlife that only comes out at night, and seeing the local area in a new way. We’re sure that you’ll find something useful to take away from the night, whatever your previous level of map and compass skills.
This event is part of the North York Moors Dark Skies Festival 2023.
