2 Day Navigation Weekend
By far our most popular trip, this 2 day hike is your gateway to future MountainSphere trips and is your pathway to independence and self reliance in the bush. On this bushwalk you will learn how to read a topographic map and how to use a compass, and you will put these techniques into practise in a real off-track wilderness environment. Whilst the primary objective of the weekend is educational, it is also a great opportunity to meet new people, make new friends and experience a wild and undeveloped environment, a beautiful sandstone landscape, and to enjoy an evening and night of camping away from it all.
