With the help of the 麻豆社鈥檚 Joe Crowley, three young people, Danyaal, Haseeb and Fezzy, complete a navigational challenge in the Yorkshire countryside.
Starting in a mystery location, they use a combination of observational skills and map symbols and features to identify their location.
The boys are asked to follow a path on a disused railway track, past some mine workings to meet Joe a few kilometres away.
Along the way, they learn about the idea of rights of way as they, and how to identify old mine workings and kilns on the map.
They also learn how to use gridlines, and eastings and northings.
The boys find their way across an expanse of moorland which, Joe explains, can often have few map features.
They notice Boundary Posts and Markers to help them and as the mist falls, the boys complete their challenge and meet Joe at their destination.
