Route Planning
Preparing useful Route Cards for each day of your expedition is really important. You'll spend time at 2 training sessions getting some help with planning your route and preparing Route Cards in your teams. You have access to OS maps for the whole of the UK and a Route Card tool through eDofE Mapping. It would be good to familiarise yourself with eDofE Mapping by doing a dummy route, to see how the software works.
6. List at least 3 reasons why Route Cards are useful / important:
*
7. Route Cards for Expeditions are always made for the teams by the Leaders.
*
True
False
8. Route Cards need to be checked by the Leaders, and given to the Assessor a few days before the Expedition.
True
False
9. Suggest what information in a Route Card will be most helpful to you on your expedition:
*
10. In the map above, give a 6-figure grid reference of where the power lines cross Loch Ken that would be a great waypoint to use in a Route Card for an expedition along the loch.
