Navigation

Whilst map reading skills are the foundation of any form of navigation, we are strong believers in using technology such as phones, watches and hand held GPS devices whilst navigating.

Our navigation setup combines GPS watches, smartphones, and an inReach Mini—keeping us on track during FKTs, tricky terrain, or off-trail hikes.
Safe navigation means matching redundancy to risk, from a phone on local hikes to multiple devices and backups on remote trips.
General apps let you import maps; trail-specific apps come preloaded. Know their strengths to pick the best navigation setup for your hike.
We use phone GPS and digital maps for hiking; they’re often more reliable than paper maps, especially with a robust navigation system in place.
Learn how to use Strava heatmaps to uncover popular trails, gauge difficulty, and plan smarter routes for your next hike.
