Gold National Navigation Award Scheme

The Gold National Navigation Award is a two day course. It is a progression from the Silver Award, adding techniques and skills for dealing with complex contour features. On completion of the course, participants will be able to plan and confidently follow safe routes away from paths and tracks in any open countryside. Note that you don't need to have done the silver course, to take part in this one.

The courses cover:

Utilize contours and fine detail as the prime method of navigation
Accurately follow routes, judging distance using pacing and timing, using compass skills, and maintaining continuous map contact.
Re-location techniques like aspect of slope, transit lines, contour interpretation, back bearings and resection.
The NNAS Gold Navigator Award is accredited by the Scottish Credit & Qualifications Framework (SCQF) at Level 6, and 2 SCQF credit points are awarded on completion.
