Starting to explore
The remainder of this book is about walking, and exploring and finding the way using a map and a compass. You will find out how to plan a walk-what food to take, what to wear, how to tell what the weather will be like, how to plan your route and so on. There is also advice on what to do if thing go wrong- if you get lost, for example. It is safer and much more fun to go walking and exploring with friends rather than alone. Try practising the basic skills of using map and compass near home first and then you will be better prepared to explore further afield.
