Read. Ride. Recover.

01 / What we teach
Following a track is not
the same as navigating.
A GPS line tells you where to go. A roadbook asks you to work it out: read the instruction, expect the terrain, decide, confirm, and know what to do when the information no longer matches the ground.
01
Read
Understand what the instruction asks before the decision point.
02
Expect
Know what the terrain should look like when you arrive.
03
Decide
Commit to the turn deliberately, not by guessing.
04
Check
Confirm distance, heading and terrain still agree.
05
Recover
Act when they stop agreeing.
02 / How it works
Practice to competence

Nine core modules. M01 → M09.
Introduce, teach, combine, practise, demonstrate. Practice roadbooks sit at competence points.
M01Introduction to Roadbook Navigation
Understand the roadbook system before learning any single instrument.
M02Tulips & Junctions
Read the junction drawing accurately, before you arrive.
M03Distance & Tripmeter
Make distance a usable instrument instead of a number.
M04CAP & Direction
Use heading as independent confirmation.
M05Notes & Dangers
Read the warning early and arrive with margin.
M06Navigation Rhythm
Run the whole loop continuously, at pace.
M07Recognising Navigation Errors
Notice the error while it is still small.
M08Recovery
Stop compounding, anchor, reconstruct, return, re-establish, rejoin, confirm.
M09Independent Navigation
Navigate a complete route unaided, and debrief it honestly.
04 / Practice roadbooks
Theory ends when the engine starts.
Every practice roadbook states its objective, level, route information, pre-ride preparation and debrief.

First Roadbook Ride / Familiarisation
The first practice roadbook, and the only one in the library today. Practice roadbooks sit at competence points in the curriculum.
Connected to
The Core Navigation course
Nine modules: introduce, teach, combine, practise, demonstrate. Practice roadbooks are placed where several taught skills combine.
05 / Recovery
Recovery starts before
you turn around.
Most riders lose a rally long before they admit they are lost. Recovery is taught from the first module, not as an emergency measure.
01
Recognise
Distance, heading and terrain stop matching.
02
Verify
Check trip, last tulip and heading against the roadbook.
03
Identify
Name the last position you know was correct.
04
Recover
Return to it, then rejoin the roadbook deliberately.
06 / Events
Where the navigation actually counts.
A curated guide to rally, roadbook and navigation events. True North Rally does not organise these events — it helps you arrive prepared.
