You\'ll learn about magnetic north true north and magnetic variation (declination). After covering these fundamentals you\'ll get time to practice taking a bearing from the terrain and your map so that you can make sense of your position and plan a route. This hands on course is a great introduction to outdoor navigation and map reading!
