Learn overland navigation
Friends of Panthertown invites the public to a one-of-a-kind outdoor skills event: “Orienteering With Map and Compass,” led by renowned wilderness guide and author Burt Kornegay (“A Guide’s Guide to Panthertown”).
The event will be held from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 5. An indoor portion will be held from 10 a.m. to noon at the Albert Carlton-Cashiers Community Library, and an outdoor portion will be held from 1-3 p.m. at the Salt Rock Gap Overlook in Panthertown Valley.
This free event offers participants hands-on instruction in essential navigation techniques using a map and compass. The morning indoor session will cover the basics, while the afternoon field session will put those skills into real-world practice in the beautiful Panthertown Valley.
Ideal for amateur navigators, families and nature lovers, this program promises a memorable and educational outdoor experience.
Advance registration is required, as space is limited. Register at panthertown.org/events.
