Night Navigation Experience - North York Moors
Saturday 26th October 2024 from 18:45pm to 21:45pm
Blacksmiths Arms - Lastingham
Anserdale Lane, Lastingham, North Yorkshire, YO62 6TN
Learn how to navigate after dark in the North York Moors with expert leaders from Large Outdoors for a fun few hours navigating in the hills, moorlands and woods of the North York Moors after the sun has gone down.
Our expert guides will teach you the ins and outs of navigating at night, sharing invaluable tips and methods to help you confidently find your way.
Over 3 hours of learning with a small group, you’ll improve your night navigation abilities under the stars in a designated International Dark Sky Reserve.
Keep your eyes peeled for constellations and celestial bodies not visible in light-polluted towns and cities, and listen out for nocturnal wildlife. You’ll finish the trip looking at night-time landscapes in a new way and will have helpful takeaway navigation tips, whether you’re a newbie or a proficient map reader.
This event is part of the North York Moors Dark Skies Fringe Festival 2024.
