'Symbol Spot' guides - 2018
Walking guides from 3+ around a variety of locations including the Forest of Marston Vale and Bedford town. Each participant purchases/collects a bag (from the chosen location) containing all the items needed along the route. Can you find all the Symbols on the Map?

Scouting
I can help run sessionsfor the Navigation badge or anything to do with Maps. I also host careers talks about being A Cartographer and Geologist.
STEM & Art Days
Understanding about STEM and Art - how the subjects are reliant on maps for showing off information!
Mindfulness Mapping
Map reading and making can be a therapeutic way of calming down. Looking at all the detail, colours, names and symbols.
Creating your own master piece of Cartography is not only a great achievement but can also be a relaxing journey.
When people concentrate on colouring in or creating, it can bring the heart rate down..and people start to relax and unwind.
