Introduction
Introduction

• Grade 1 is the first session in the Ramsoc
  training programme
• This is an optional preparation for Grade 2
  (leadership training)
• You wont necessarily have to lead walks
  afterwards!
• We hope to build your confidence and inspire you
  to go on further in the training program

What is Grade 1

• Grade 1
• Low level walks
• Mainly in the White Peak
• Some easier Dark Peak and Weekend Walks
• Only basic Navigation is necessary
• Walks will normally not exceed 400m above sea
  level

• Grade 2
• Medium level walks
• Rising between 366m and 671m above sea level
• Often leading walks in the Dark Peak and medium
  level walks on weekends

• Grade 3
• High level walks in mountainous areas
• Also includes moorland and regions were it would
  take more than an hour to reach habitation
• Walks include those in Snowdonia, Lake District
  and The Yorkshire Dales

6 Figure Grid References

• The main reason for printing a grid system on
  maps is to create a numerical system for defining
  a specific location
• To ensure accuracy a 6 figure grid reference is
  used
• These can be estimated by eye or measured using a
  ruler, or with a Romer (often found on the base
  plate of a compass)
• It is important to understand how to give an
  accurate 6 figure grid reference

Map Symbols
Map Symbols

• It is important to be able to identify commonly
  used map symbols (especially this one, PH)
• Being able to correctly identify map symbols will
  not only help you to navigate but may be useful
  to determine suitability of terrain, allow for a
  more precise description of your location or to
  avoid potential dangers
• A definitive list of symbols can be found on the
  key of any OS map

Relating the map to the ground

• Interpreting a map correctly is the most basic
  and useful navigational skill
• Maps are simply an accurate picture of the ground
  as seen from above, scaled down from life size
  and with symbols to show particular features and
  landmarks
• An OS map is a 2D representation of a 3D
  landscape

70
Session 1 Basic Navigation
Relating the map to the ground

• It shows all of the necessary detail to represent
  a 3D landscape using a variety of different
  techniques
• These Include
• Contour lines
• Rivers and streams
• Areas of Trees
• Roads and Paths
• Different types of terrain
• Walls
• Buildings

71
Session 1 Basic Navigation
Relating the map to the ground

• The most important and reliable information found
  on a map are provided by contours
• These allow the map reader to build a mental
  picture of the three dimensional shape of the
  land
• Other features can then be superimposed over the
  top of this land form e.g. Buildings, Streams,
  Walls etc.

72
Session 1 Basic Navigation
Relating the map to the ground

• It should be remembered that these features might
  change over time, paths or even streams reroute
  themselves and walls become removed or fall down
• Although Maps are very accurate, occasionally
  minor errors occur.
• Also the man made landscape can change quickly
  drastically altering what can be seen on the land

73
Session 1 Basic Navigation
Orientating the Map

• Why is Orientating a map important?

• To aid the process of relating the map to the
  ground

• How do we orientate the map?

74
Session 1 Basic Navigation
Orientating the Map

• By eye Rotate the map so landmarks you can see
  such as lakes, roads, FPs and buildings align
  with map
• If you hold the map up you should be able to
  directly align it to the landscape using these
  features

75
Session 1 Basic Navigation
Orientating the Map

• Using a Compass
• Set the dial to 0o
• Line up the edge of the compass with a vertical
  grid line (Northing)
• Leaving the orientation arrow on the baseplate
  pointing upwards
• Rotate both the map and compass together until
  the Red needle is lined up with the orientation
  arrow

76
Session 1 Basic Navigation
Orientating the Map

• We will go into more detail on this at the
  practical session on Sunday

77
Session 1 Basic Navigation
Contours and Features

• Contour Lines
• Join points of equal height above sea level
• Are shown on the map as Brown / Orange lines
• Usually at 10m Intervals but check on the map
• Every 5th line is an index contour and will be
  slightly bolder
• Show inclination of the land as well as slope and
  aspect

78
Session 1 Basic Navigation
Contours and Features

• Contour Lines
• The closer the contour lines are together the
  steeper the slope
• Contours will be marked with their relative
  heights at different intervals
• It is important to identify when a contour is
  showing an incline or decline
• For ridges the point of the V points towards
  lower ground
• For valleys the point of the V points towards
  higher land
• Note usually a stream can be found in a valley

79
Session 1 Basic Navigation
Contours and Features

• Contour Features
• Often you find typical features formed by
  contours such as Ridges, Saddles, Valleys and
  Knolls
• These will be covered in more detailed in Grade 2
• Here is an example of contour lines using the
  software Memory Map

Bearings

• What is a bearing?

• A bearing is the angle of direction of one object
  or destination from another

• Why might it be necessary to use a bearing as a
  method of navigation

• Poor visibility

• Lack of other navigational features i.e. On top
  of Kinder

• For reassurance

83
Session 1 Basic Navigation
Bearings

• How to take a bearing
• Find the two points on the map that you want to
  travel from and to. Line up your compass edge
  between the two points, so that your direction of
  travel arrow is pointing to your destination.

  different situations, e.g. happy, serious,
  motivational, persuasive

111
Session 2 Group Management
Leadership Styles / Techniques

• Leadership Techniques
• Body language
• As important as verbal communication is body
  language
• Body language can be very expressive
• Body language is often subconscious
• People will more often than not pick up and
  believe your body language more than they will
  your voice
• It is important to remember this especially in
  instances were you are unsure or uncomfortable
  with a situation
• It is also a useful tool to be able to read
  others body language

112
Session 2 Group Management
Leadership Styles / Techniques

• We will now give you a variety of different
  scenarios
• What leadership technique or style would be best
  to use in each scenario
• As a leader how would you communicate with your
  group / individual
• Can you identify where any problems might arise
  as a leader

113
Session 2 Group Management
Conflict Management

• What is Conflict Management?

• Conflict Management is the way in which a leader
  deals with problems that arise either between
  another leader and themselves or within
  individual members of the group.

• How do conflicts arise?

• People are more likely to experience conflict
  when they are tired, experiencing extremes in
  temperature or are hungry

• Conflicts may arise if there is a disagreement
  over the choice of route

• If two or more people have a clash in personality

• And ultimately conflict can occur from out of
  nowhere and over some of the most trivial things

114
Session 2 Group Management
Conflict Management

• What techniques can be used to manage it?

• Communication
• Vote
• Taking time out
• Removing someone form the group temporarily
• Tackling the route cause of the conflict
• Identifying different solutions
• Being diplomatic
• Explore different avenues and different
  possibilities

• Ultimately prevention is better than cure!
