Beginners / Bronze Level Course (NNAS)
This is a two-day course covering map reading and basic compass skills with plenty of time to practice in the outdoors. The course is suitable for complete beginners or for those with some experience with maps who would like a refresher.
Improvers / Silver Level Course (NNAS)
This is a 2 day course designed to improve your map reading and learn, or improve, your compass skills. You will learn how to use the map and compass to help you in good and bad visibility. You don’t need to have used a compass before as the course will take you through everything step by step.
Advanced / Gold Level Course (NNAS)
This is a 2 day course aimed at experienced navigators who are interested in improving their map and compass skills in difficult terrain using contours and land forms. You must be confident using a map and compass and have completed the NNAS Silver course or have similar experience.
Map Reading Skills for the Hills
This course is a one day introduction to the art of map reading. We aim to cover the basics of map reading step by step to give you the confidence to get out and about in the hills.
Compass Skills for the Hills
This is a one-day introduction to the use of the compass to help you find your way in the hills. We aim to cover the many uses of the compass to give you the confidence to get out and about in the hills both on and off path.
Advanced Navigation
This is a one day course for those who have either done the Silver Course or already feel comfortable using a map and compass. The day will take place on Kinder Scout where the terrain is rough and navigation is challenging. We will be practicing walking on a bearing and using map and compass skills to find our way across the Kinder plateau. We’ll be route finding and enjoying the challenge of finding our way under tricky circumstances.
