Hike with a Map and Compass

We use a map and compass to find our way in nature, for example along a hiking trail or on paths. At the meeting we will talk about: What a map and compass are, how they are used and what you need to consider to avoid getting lost and how to find your way back if you do get lost.

You need to be able to walk a few kilometers along paths and wear clothes according to the weather. We are outdoors all the time. Bring your own compass if you have one. We will stop for a fika so bring something to eat and drink and something to sit on.
