What is this?
This is a practical class with many exercises to help you practice what you learn. The first day is in the classroom. In the morning, we'll learn
about maps and about compasses and in the afternoon, we'll put the two together and practice finding our way on a map. The second day is a field session where you will put your new-found skills to use as you navigate through the back country. The course outline is found at
Map & Compass 2018
.
If you have questions about the class, please send an email to
banjomaker@hendricksbanjos.com
