MountainSphere Adventures | Navigation Weekend 8-9 November 2025

A great group of 8 people joined this navigation weekend on a very warm and sunny Saturday morning. This was the final navigation weekend of the spring 2025 season. The weather promised everything for this weekend. A hot and windy morning, thunderstorms later, and then a 10 degree plummet in temperature overnight leading to a cold morning on Sunday and a fine mild spring day. In the end the thunderstorms did not eventuate, just a rumble of distant thunder and a few light sun showers. The group learned a wealth of new navigation skills on Saturday and navigated their way to our beautiful campsite. We took a little time out for a quick swim in the river on the hot afternoon. Sunday morning was cold and clear, the group consolidated their skills and learned new ways of applying them in a variety of different terrain types. There was a very steep crossing of the gorge which everyone managed very well, and then a great lunch spot with 360 degree views of the surrounding area. By the time we completed the hike everyone was tired but happy after a fantastic 2 days in the wilderness having enormous fun and learning heaps of new bush navigation skills!
