In reply to girlymonkey:
I have an A6 card that I have laminated with the following on to refresh my memory. Of course no plan survives first contact with the enemy but it is good to go prepared with something. If you send me your e-mail I can e-mail you a PDF with it laid out on A6
Teaching nav in the field
Initial Legs
Orientate the map
Leg 1 Look round, ID features
Leg 2 Predict features & tick off (Description) + Destination
Leg 3 + Distance (Timing)
Leg 4 + Direction
Leg 5 + Dangers (nav and safety)
Make the destination more ambiguous or later legs
Things to cover throughout
Making a plan for each leg
Feature identification
Contour interpretation
Lines of transect
Things to consider on later legs
Map memory (read the map then put it away)
Relocation, walk them blind (look around, move around, retrace)
Magnetic variation
Aspect of slope
Walking on a bearing (the bearing is the handrail)
Pacing
Boxing and dog legs
Aiming off
Attack points
