Sunshine and maps
Women can read maps - Navigation Course
The future women world explorers were greeted by Fran with strong cups of coffee. This
was to help them recover from their journeys from Edinburgh and Linlithgow.
Then the work began in earnest.
We shared experiences of using maps and getting lost and learnt some tricks
about maps. After a few indoor games we ventured out to find out how to judge distance.
Then off into the great outdoors to put it all into practice.
Lets check how far we have come.........
and soon we were striding out confidently for a...... 
lunch stop in glorious sunshine.
Following a well earned break we headed off to check out what the
contours around us meant.
Then we each took a turn to leading. 
After all this hard work we were ready for another break.
But even when resting we were so gripped and intrigued by the maps that
we wanted to keep looking at them.
Some even postponed their break by a few minutes whilst they matched up all the hills around us... well that is what theytold us.
They were pretty pleased with themselves.
Still, we found the energy to go to the top of the Melville Monument behind
Comrie and work out what was around us. The views were fabulous. We
could see Ben Vorlich, Ben Halton and Morbheinn, Loch Earn as well as
Comrie to Crieff. Then we headed down for well earned meals and rest - ready
to take on tomorrows challenges.
Fran assured us that working out where you are in the woods is like being in
the mist on the hill tops. We are glad we remembered answers to the symbols
quiz from yesterday and had no trouble finding out what a footbridge is on a
map. Easy work.
Then time for a well earned rest again before heading off.
 
We know were we are. We are starting to get pretty good at this.
It is a lovely day again and we see some primroses appreciating the better weather. Great views about us as we great ready for the biggest challenge. The compass.
But we get the hang of this and soon head off trying out our latest technique with confidence.
It is like magic. It works.....................
 
We reach the top of Creag Each with views up towards Ben Chonzie. Time for a rest and sun bathe.
 
Then is down and head for Comrie via streams and waterfalls. Tired but satisfied that we
know CAN read maps and with practice will be confident map reader. World here we come.
 Women CAN read maps.
