6th-7th June: Bronze NNAS, Peak



With a full course on this weekend we were bound to be in for a good time adventuring out into the Peak District. It rained most of the weekend which made life difficult but we made the most of it and had chance to put things into practice throughout the weekend!

Thanks Everyone!

Course Feedback

Just wanted to say how much I enjoyed the course this weekend - even the bad weather didn't dampen my spirits. Normally I'd never venture out in such weather!

I joined this course with some basic knowledge of navigating which I'd learned from books. I wanted to cement what I knew as even the best book can't beat proper face-to-face instruction.

I'd decided that if I came away from the weekend with just one new skill I'd be happy. I came away with several and, just as important, the confidence to use them.

Each topic was explained clearly with ample opportunity to ask questions and put it all into practise. The big bonus was the friendly personable style of instruction where everybody felt at ease even if we got it wrong (which we did).

I'm looking forward to putting my new skills to the test out on the hill and can't wait for the next course in 3 weeks.
