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.
