Navigation Test

The weather conditions in the Highlands can be severe, even in the middle of July. Your ability to navigate in poor visibility is crucial to your safety on the event.

There will be a compulsory navigation test which must be passed before participants can proceed to the registration check-in. The navigation test will require each participant to answer/demonstrate ONE of the following questions:

*Can you take a bearing from one location to another, confirming which direction you would walk off in?

*How would you use landmarks to confirm your location if you were lost?

*Locate a grid reference

*If you required assistance on the hill, what would you need to think about and what information would you gather?

Participants who fail the navigation test will be ‘fined’ and asked to donate £25 to the nominated charities on site.

The navigation test is serious and for your own benefit; weather conditions are very variable and quickly changeable on the munros. Navigation is part of the challenge!
