Overview

When using pacing as a navigation method during ascent or descent of a a slope, the distance measured on the map is not equal to that covered on the ground, which, bearing in mind that pacing is normally carried out in low visibility or darkness, can make navigation even harder.

The Mountain Trails Pacing on a Slope Card therefore provides an index of 'map to ground' distances to enable you to calculate pace counts more accurately and therefore greatly increase your ability to hit a checkpoint or get to safety with minimum tears.
