The Wonderful World of Natural Navigation

Discover how natural navigation can enrich all our journeys, large and small. Bestselling author, explorer and natural navigator, Tristan Gooley, takes us on solo crossings of the Atlantic in a small yacht and a light aircraft and reveals how these journeys led to a career searching for signs in nature. Tristan explains how we can navigate using the sun, moon, stars, weather, plants and animals and how he has used these ancient techniques in the desert, the jungle, up mountains, in cities, on oceans and in the English countryside.

Into the Wild Festival. Saturday 23rd August. 11.15am
