Pace Count
• Learn your Pace Count– Counting the number of paces you take to
estimate the distance you travel. You need to determine your standard pace for various conditions (at least one for walking and one for running) on a fixed course of known length. Because the map is flat, it takes more paces to cover the same map distance going up or down hill than on flat terrain.

Pace Count
• Lay out a straight Line 50 Meters Long• Walk the 50 Meters do an About Face and
Walk it Again. Count every time your Foot touches the Ground.
• Alternate Method is to count every time your left foot touches the ground.

Pace Count
• Up Hill- Paces Are Naturally Longer
• Down Hill Paces Are Naturally Shorter
