Join us on a two day NNAS course on Dartmoor or the Quantocks and come away with new found skills to begin enjoying the hills and mountains with confidence and safely!
The National Navigation Award Scheme (NNAS) is a personal performance, non-competitive, incentive scheme for all ages to learn navigation skills and gain confidence to get out and enjoy the countryside.
The aims of the Navigator Award are simple – to give lovers of the outdoors, whatever their sport, age or fitness, the freedom to explore the paths, trails, hills and mountains of Britain and abroad.
There are three levels – the Bronze Award, the Silver Award and the Gold Award. Progressing through the three awards will take you from being an absolute map and compass novice right through to be an expert navigator at Gold.
You do not have to start at Bronze, although it is expected that you will have completed the Silver award at least before you start a Gold Award course.

BRONZE NNAS
£125
2 Days
South West/Bespoke
The Bronze Award covers the essential map reading skills. You'll learn about using “handrail features”, like paths and walls, to guide you along your way. You’ll also learn the basics of how to use a compass and how to use it with your map to ensure you don’t get lost. A bronze course will take you from relying on friends or guidebooks to being able to plan a walk and follow it successfully.
SILVER NNAS
£135
2 Days
South West/Bespoke
On a Silver Navigator Award course, you’ll start to leave the paths behind. You'll navigate in open country on short bearings. As your confidence increases you’ll learn more advanced compass skills and add timing and pacing into the mix too.Silver courses take place on more difficult terrain and away from easy-to-follow paths and trails.
