SUMMARY:FREE: Navigation Series (3 of 3)
DESCRIPTION:Navigate using a topo map and compass. Dec. 11\nWe’ll put together your new understanding (hopefully you attended our two previous sessions) of the compass and topo map and use them together to take bearings on features during a hike. We’ll identify ridges\, gullies\, and landmarks using our map and compass. \nMaybe you already learned these things in WTC or somewhere else\, but forgot and want to review? Come along… \nIf you have a mirror compass\, bring it. If you don’t\, you can buy one at REI or on Amazon. Even if you don’t have one\, you can learn w/ours. \nWilderness Travel Course instructors are offering this FREE intro series to navigation. It’s best if you can take all three\, but join for any you can fit into your schedule. \nONLY RSVP if you’re coming for sure. This will help us plan our lesson accordingly. \nBring water\, sun protection\, and snacks. Wear layers and comfortable shoes. \n*****\nPrevious session (1 of 3): Anatomy of a Compass? Oct. 2\nLearn the different parts and features\, what they tell us\, and how to use them. (Viewing sight\, mirror\, bezel\, base plate\, ruler\, magnetized needle\, liquid filled capsule\, declination arrow\, and lanyard)\, \nPrevious Session (2 of 3) All about Topo Maps; Nov. 6\nMaximize your understanding of the data points in the margins\, identify natural and man-made features\, learn about contour lines\, gullies\, ridges\, peaks\, and more. \n#Navigation #orienteering #topomap #COMPASS #stayfound #playoutside #getoutside #hiking #backpacking #crosscountry

SUMMARY:Learn New Skills-Make New Friends-Experience New Adventure
DESCRIPTION:INFORMATIONAL POSTING ONLY\nwww.wildernesstravelcourse.org \nDear Group Members\, particularly the recent swell of new\, never-been-backpacking-before-but-want-to-start members: There is a great Sierra Club opportunity that is about to begin….an opportunity that only happens one time each year and it is one of the best outdoor learning experiences the Sierra Club has to offer. This is the Angeles Chapter Wilderness Travel Course (WTC). Some of you have taken the course and are now leaders and/or knowledgeable hikers. For those of you who have not\, enrollment in WTC is something you should consider now. The Wilderness Travel Course helps build outdoor skills so hikers can be safe in the backcountry. The course runs for ten weeks and includes four field trips (two one day and two weekend outings). Students learn map and compass navigation skills for competently hiking off-trail\, snow travel\, rock scrambling techniques\, first aid\, nutrition and lots more. The course is followed by unforgettable experience backpacking trips most of which take place in the High Sierra\, Sequoia and Yosemite during the summer months.\nWTC moves you from being a day hiker to a more serious adventurer. You will acquire skills in trip planning\, preparation\, equipment and wilderness safety to take you into the backcountry in all seasons\, beyond roads and trails with new friends that share your interest in the outdoors. \nAgain\, the course runs only one time each year and takes place in Southern California in four locations as follows: West Los Angeles (Wednesdays beginning Jan 4th; Orange County (Tuesdays beginning Jan 10); Long Beach/South Bay (Wednesdays beginning January 18th); San Gabriel Valley (Tuesdays beginning Jan 24th) \nThe four geographic areas fill up well in advance of the class start date so register early. \nFOR MORE INFORMATION AND TO REGISTER FOR THE COURSE GO TO: www.wildernesstravelcourse.org (http://www.wildernesstravelcourse.org/)
