OutdoorLads is pleased to be able to offer a very limited number of places on this 3-day outdoor skills course from MountainXperience held in the Peak District.
If you’re looking for the ultimate navigation learning experience, then the intensive NNAS ‘Straight to Silver’ Navigator Award adventure is just for you. Over three days you’ll go from map reader novice to navigation expert as you progress through the syllabus for both the Bronze and Silver NNAS Navigator Awards.
The National Navigation Award Scheme (NNAS) is a personal performance scheme for all ages to learn navigation skills and gain confidence to get out and enjoy the countryside. Their Navigator Awards give lovers of the outdoors, whatever their sport, age or fitness, the freedom to explore the paths, trails, hills and mountains of Britain. Progress through the Bronze, Silver and Gold Awards to take you from being an absolute map and compass novice to become an expert navigator. Our experienced instructors will share their knowledge with you and answer any questions you have about exploring the hills and mountains of the UK.
Each day begins with a short ‘classroom’ session over breakfast at The Penny Pot Cafe in Edale in the heart of the Peak District. This is a great opportunity to pick up the new skills you’ll need for when you head out to continue the learning in the local hills. The end of the day finishes with cake back at the cafe whilst the group recaps the day.
This course will be led by an OutdoorLads Leader and run jointly with his own outdoor business so there will be non-ODL members on the course with you. If you're not local to the Peak District you'll need to arrange your own accommodation nearby. The course runs for three days from Friday to Sunday.
