LONDON LOOP WALK

Yr 12 Public Services students will be walking Leg 1 of The London Loop on Wednesday 29th January 2014, at the start of Unit 9 (Outdoor & Adventurous Expeditions). This will be followed in February and March by Legs 2 and 3 and a two day expedition in June to Kent.

The key skills to be covered (and revised from Unit 35) on 29th January will be:

• Accurate measurement of distance walked (make sure you have your bead counters!)
• Micro navigation and pinpointing location on 1:25,000 scale maps
• Leading a leg/briefing

 

Make sure:

 

• You are properly prepared and dressed for the day (January can be cold and wet and the route is potentialy muddy!)
• You bring your bead counters.
• You have a packed lunch to eat and something to drink (ideally a hot flask)
