🥾 Planning HQ — getting ready for the 16th June walk. You already know how to use a compass and plan a route. Today you plan this walk leg by leg, run the safety checks, then practise leading your partner along it — so on the day you walk South Gare → Majuba like a pro.

Today's expedition — what you'll prove

LO3The leader's kit

You're leading. Tap every item a leader carries for an exposed coastal walk. Leave the rest.

Think: finding the way · staying safe · the weather coming off the sea · being seen & heard.

LO1 · LO4Plan the route to Majuba

The marked route runs South Gare → Majuba. For each leg: take the bearing with the compass, then choose the landmark you'll pass. This builds the route card your partner follows.

LegBearingDistanceLandmark you'll pass
Aspire: read the exact bearing off the dial (not just the nearest option) and add a precise distance to each instruction.

LO5 + leader skillRisk assessment & the SSSI

Real leaders write a risk assessment. For each hazard on the route, drag the correct control measure next to it.

🦆 One last leader question — type your answer:

Coatham Sands is a protected SSSI with ground-nesting birds and fragile dunes. Name one thing you would do to protect the habitat on a coastal walk like this.

Why it matters: Coatham Sands & Dunes is an SSSI — the marram dunes are fragile and birds nest on the ground. Keep to paths, dogs on leads, litter home.

LO2 · LO6The Follow Challenge

Hand the device to your partner

Your route is built. Now your partner follows it to Majuba — looking around the real photos, taking bearings and recording what they see.

Turn until the gold arrow points straight up — that's facing your next point. The compass shows your bearing.

Turn to face your next point…
