What We’ll Explore
On this 5-mile guided walk, we’ll step back through time and rediscover how humans have always found their way, using the natural world as their guide. Along the way, you’ll learn how to:
- Use the sun, stars, and moon as direction markers.
- Read the horizon, hills, and landmarks for orientation.
- Spot subtle signs in trees, plants, and rivers that tell a story of place.
- Understand how these timeless skills link to the navigation apps in your pocket.
The Experience
This is more than a walk. It’s a chance to pause, notice, and reconnect. You’ll step into the mindset of past explorers, sharpen your senses, and finish with practical skills that will last a lifetime.
Distance: ~5 miles
Pace: Gentle, with frequent stops to observe, learn, and reflect
Who is it for? Anyone curious about the world around them. No prior experience needed.
Why Join Us?
Because navigation is about more than finding your way — it’s about keeping your mind sharp, your body engaged, and your attention on the world around you. You’ll leave not just having walked 5 miles, but with a stronger connection to nature and a skill that no low battery warning can ever take away.
