This download is the 24 page Course Notes document that we provide to participants that we train. These Course Notes are used to complement the lessons that we deliver for The Duke of Edinburgh's Award expedition section.

They cover, navigation, kit list, packing a rucksack, hazards and route planning, emergency procedures, compass work (including magnetic variation / declination), first aid, relocation when lost, menu planning theory and some ideas, tent use and care, safe trangia use, the weather, the country code, interpreting contours, ideas for aims of the expeditions and some guidance on how to ensure success on your expedition (the new, more positive, name for the 'how to fail your DofE expedition' page).
