The NNAS Bronze award is accredited by the Scottish Credit & Qualifications Framework (SCQF) at Level 4, and 2 SCQF credit points are awarded on completion. The syllabus of the Bronze National Navigation Award teaches navigation in the countryside using paths tracks and other linear features. Basic map interpretation and compass work is also included. We will cover:
· Understanding maps (variety, scales, grid references)
· Orientation of the map using handrails, features and compass
· Understanding contours
· Estimate distances and times
· Plan and walk a route using a variety of navigation strategies
· Understand use of mobile phones
· Access rights, responsibilities and the Countryside Code
· Equipment, safety and emergency procedures
The course takes place over two full days, typically 09:00-16:00hrs, meeting in Wendover, Buckinghamshire and is non-residential.
We will meet at a café where you will be able to get tea/coffee, breakfast etc. and then we will be outside for the duration. You will need to bring a small rucksack with packed lunch, water, and spare clothing, but I will send out a more detailed list of what to bring on booking.
For navigation you will need a compass (for example a Silva Expedition 4 is recommended) and maps – Chiltern Hills North: Explorer 181 (waterproof Active map is advised in case of wet weather).
Included in the course fee is use of maps, compasses, and a certificate on passing the award.
This 2-day NNAS Silver Award is perfect for beginners and intermediates. The course develops those skills provided at Bronze level and teaches you how to become more accurate with your navigation skills and how to navigate in a more open environment, such as moors, hills and mountains. The Silver also introduces navigation in a low visibility situation (at night, in fog, etc.) It is a very practical, enjoyable and hands-on weekend which will provide you with all those necessary skills you need to plan walks, take the lead and explore. It is also a very useful course if working on or taking part in the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme, Scouts, Guides, Cadets and anybody working towards a Mountain Training leader qualification.
The National Navigation Award Scheme (NNAS) is a registered charity that promotes the teaching of land navigation skills through its Navigator Awards. Its focus is on practical navigation and encouraging people of all ages into the outdoors, arguably as important or more so now than ever. Founded in 1994 by teacher and orienteer Peter Palmer, the organisation has gone from strength to strength and has guided thousands of people through the progressive award structure to become confident navigators.
The Navigator Awards have been adopted by Duke of Edinburgh Award groups, military cadet groups, Scouts and Guides and many other youth groups as well as by individuals wishing to develop their own navigation skills. Having proven navigation skills is also a requirement for professional outdoor qualifications and membership of mountain and lowland rescue organisations.
