Navigation Training & Tips
   
 
During the event we will be providing all teams with a 1:25000 scale map and a compass for each activity section. All of the checkpoints that you need to navigate to will be clearly marked on your map and the name of the Distant Horizons instructor that will be at each location will be identified. When you reach each checkpoint you will be checked in and your time recorded.
 
Map & Compass
 
   
Maps - Scale The laminated maps that we will be providing you with are in 1:25000 scale. Quite simply, each square box on the maps (light blue lines) that are created by the grid lines are 1km square.
