Linear Atlas: Map Distance Without Gadgets
2 days · Field-only · Field Observation
A fieldcraft-forward workshop that keeps optics capped for long stretches. Teams move through cordoned lanes, compare pacing against laser references only at checkpoints, and build a personal stride card under instructor audit.

FAQ
Are GPS devices allowed?
GPS may be carried for emergencies but must remain sealed in a provided bag during graded segments.
What footwear is required?
Ankle-support boots with defined tread are required. Trail runners are not accepted on loose gravel segments.
What is the weather cancellation policy?
Heavy rain shifts pacing drills under cover; lightning cancels the day with a credit toward the next open cohort.
Experience notes
I underestimated how tired ankles change stride. The sealed checkpoint method made the error obvious instead of embarrassing.
Night pacing was short but memorable. I would have liked one more hour there, though daylight drills were dense enough.
