 I am happy to announce that I have partnered with the North Conway Climbing

 sses.  They have generously given our group and additional 10% off the publ
 ic group rate.  The costs posted are the total cost for the entire two-day 
 weekend.  See below for course description and details.  Please note that t
 here must be a minimum of 5 people attending this even to receive this pric

 emainder to rent a car and share the costs.  I will help with getting a che
 ap rental car if needed.\n\n\nDetailed Description:\n\nLand Navigation 101\
 n\nThis course is designed for the individual who has little to no experien
 ce with a map and compass.  This information packed in a 1 day course intro
 duces you to basic navigation with and without a map and compass. Both map 
 and compass are recommended items to have in your pack\, but what about the
  knowledge to use them? The art of navigating with a map & compass has beco
 me more obsolete with people over relying on technology. Don’t become a vic
 tim of a broken GPS or dead batteries! Half the day is spent in classroom\,
  and half outside rain or shine. Emphasis is placed on hands on learning an
 d your comprehension will be tested. No prior experience is needed and part
 icipants can be in any physical condition. This program runs on scheduled d
 ates at a group rate\, but we can also offer it privately and remotely. Con
 tact us if you would like us to bring this to your home-town or school.\n\n
 Included:  compass*\nNot included:  transportation\, food\, daypack\, perso
 nal gear appropriate for the day’s weather\n*a 20% discount coupon is provi
 ded with your reservation.  This is a great opportunity to purchase your ow
 n compass and practice your skills back at home!  Your guide will show help
  you with your selection.\n\nTopics Covered:\n•	Learn to navigate without a
  map and compass\n•	Learn to navigate with a map and compass\n•	Practice an
 d apply these skills in the field\n\nPre Requisites:  An eagerness to learn
  navigation skills!\n\nNorth Conway\, NH  03860 - USA\n\nSaturday\, July 11
