    To attend the 3 day trip you must previously have attended the 2 day navigation weekend. The 3 day trip is similar terrain but with longer days of walking and in a remoter location. We need to ascertain if the 3 day trip is right for you.
  • Transport And Vehicle Details

    This section covers transport arrangements for getting to the venue. You can drive your own car, come as a passenger in another car, come by train, or participate in car pooling with others who are coming on the trip.
  • Equipment

    This section covers gear for the weekend. The 3 day trip uses the same map as the 2 day trip so you may reuse your map if you kept it.

  • Your Order

    You may include any map and compass orders here to obtain a price quote for the weekend. You may reuse the same map that you used for the 2 day trip so you do not need to order another map if you kept the one from the 2 day trip. After submitting your form you will be sent an invoice, and you will have time to review, ask questions, and make any adjustments to your order before paying.
