Tracking 3
4 Day Course
|
  
Imagine following a live
trail for four days and working as a team. Tracking 3 promises
to challenge you to the fullest extent. Not only will you need
to deal with the environment you are in, but also pit your wits against
a quarry who will be trying to lose you. The trail could take you into
the night in order to close in on your quarry.
Where you stop for the night,
is where you will sleep and in the morning you will pick up the trail
again. Applying your skills on the move, the lessons become actions;
your team will work as one, gaining a greater understanding of each
other and your quarry. The trail ends when you capture your quarry.
Will
your quarry see you coming? Good hunting.
“When I attended
the tracking course with Natural Pathways, I received much more than
simple tuition on Tracking. Both Geoffrey and Hannah are genuinely
lovely people who are not simply tutors but also friendly people”…
“They introduced
me into the worlds beyond the physical, which have now enriched my life
more than I could have imagined. It is a gift that I am eternally
grateful for. They opened me up, whether intentionally or not, to a
wider nature with more levels than simply walking down the woods”.
