Navigation and Hillcraft Training DaysOur hill navigation training uses the NNAS syllabus. At Bronze level you learn to navigate in the countryside using paths, tracks and other linear features. Basic map interpretation and compass work is included. At Silver level you will develop the skills learned for the Bronze award to a higher level, including navigating to features some distance from paths and tracks. Accurate compass work is required plus an ability to use more advanced navigational techniques. On successful completion of the assessment you will be awarded a certificate and badge at the appropriate level. It is not a requirement of the scheme to start at the lower level. However, if you wish to start at Silver level you should be confident of navigating at Bronze level prior to the course. Please note that for training and assessment for NNAS, two consecutive days are required If you don't want to go for a navigation qualification, we also offer personalised coaching in hill navigation using map and compass. Just come along and brush up the skills that you want to improve. We also offer coaching from novice level to pre-assessment for national awards, or personalised coaching and training to develop your general hill skills. Our NNAS training and assessment days are usually based in the Yorkshire Dales , where the weather and terrain are more suitable. The Lake District and North Wales may also be used for some of our training days. Come along and develop your hill confidence in a friendly and fun environment - contact us for more details As an alternative, come and try one of our residential courses in North Wales.
