Outdoor Adventure Navigation Group 

 

The Outdoor Adventure Navigation Group (OAN)  aims to bring together people who are interested in a whole range of outdoor adventure activities to share experiences and promote good navigational practices. Outdoor adventure (and leisure) activities include a whole diverse range of outdoor sports including: walking, hill walking, mountaineering, scrambling, climbing, running, fell running, orienteering, endurance racing, cycling (road, gravel, cross, mountain and endurance), coasteering, canyoning, skiing (downhill and cross-country), pot-holing, scuba-diving, canoeing, kayaking, paddle-boarding, paragliding, hang-gliding, micro-light flying, etc.

We are looking to attract both individuals and organisations. Are you involved in the Alpine Clubs, the British Mountaineering Council (BMC), the British Orienteering Federation (BOF), the Scouts etc.; are you a Mountain Leader, a guide, and instructor; an outdoor centre; or the absolutely critical, and life-saving, rescue teams? Do you provide equipment or services to the outdoor industry? Or do you just enjoy the great outdoors for your own personal adventure and leisure. Well if the answer to any of these question is yes, then please, please get in touch and let’s make this new SIG (Special Interest Group) a great forum for us all to meet, to share our experiences, and hopefully to further the knowledge of navigation across all our adventures.

The plan is to pull together a group of enthusiastic volunteers to start organising the Outdoor Adventure SIG, to discuss our thoughts and to start to plan the initial activities and meetings. We would love to hear from you if you are interested in joining the group and especially if you wish to join the initial steering committee to get things rolling.
