Navigate smarter

BMC Hill Walking Coordinator Josh Harris also adds, "while navigation apps and GPS devices are invaluable tools for outdoor adventures, it's important to balance them with traditional skills like map and compass navigation - especially for when technology lets you down. Apps can sometimes underestimate route times or lack detailed terrain info, leading to challenges that may not be obvious on-screen. Check out our hill walking skills playlist or book yourself on to a nav course to upskill yourself."
