About the event

NNAS Bronze (Beginners) 2-day Navigation Course
Beginners Navigation, understanding the basics of 'decoding' Ordnance Survey and Harveys maps, to navigate our way safely around the trails and paths… supported by SILVA global

This is for fell walkers who would usually follow others and would like to start to understand the map for themselves, Nordic Walkers & Nordic Instructors, and Road & Trail runners new to navigation.

This is an entry-level course into navigation for personal development & will give you a NNAS (National Navigation Award Scheme) Bronze Award, assuming you can demonstrate a good understanding and application of the skills being taught on the course (don't worry everyone does by the end!).

No qualifications are needed in order to participate in this 2-day course.

What you will learn on this course:
How to read a map, understand contours & features
How to use a compass in conjunction with your map
How to orientate your map
How to relate land features around you accurately to your map
How to use features along your chosen route to identify your location at any given moment
How to set a bearing
How to relocate, should you become miss-placed (we don't like to say lost!)
How to use timing and pacing in order to find your chosen control point/location
An understanding of the Countryside Code, knowledge of what equipment is suitable for the fells and emergency procedures that are relevant
How to plan a route
Some safe navigational techniques
How to Identify hazards

Gain a deeper understanding of how to use a map & compass in order to navigate a chosen route, across different scales of maps.

Grow your confidence to take yourself and friends further afield but within the bounds of your new knowledge/qualification.

2 day course: £130
