Navigation Training with Bridgwater College PES





Today I was back at Bridgwater college after 3 days CPD. I was working with the Level 3 Public and Emergency Services students doing some navigation training as part of their ongoing training for their Expeditions module.

Our route took us out onto the edge of the Somerset Levels around Chedzoy and Stawell. We chose this area as it is possible to walk directly from the college without the need of a minibus. 

The main focus of the day was to continue with some basic navigation using map to ground and feature identification. As the day panned out we saw a variety of wildlife (Swans, Buzzards, Herons, Roe Deer, and the Alpacas pictured) and came across an interesting stile at the back of Chedzoy church.

The route covered around 14KM and allowed each student to leads legs on their own and track the route of their fellow students.
