Join us for a fun and informal navigation workshop at BrewDog Plymouth. This session will build upon the skills taught in the August Basics to Navigation workshop, all while enjoying drinks (and food if you like). It’s perfect for beginners, intermediate learners, or anyone wanting to refresh their navigation skills before heading out onto the hills.

This one’s mainly for the humans so you can focus on learning — but if your dog is happy to relax during the workshop, they’re more than welcome to come along.

What to Bring:

• Notebook

• Pens/pencils

• Compass (in mils)

• OS Map

• Highlighters/colored pens

• Ruler

Membership Requirement:

This event is only open to members of the K9 Commando Adventure Club. To join the club and sign up for future adventures, head over to our Shop page. You can also read more about the club here.

Please confirm your attendance no later than 23 September via email, text, or by messaging in the Adventure Club group chat.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out before the day.
