July 10th-11th: Navigation Course

July 10th-11th : NNAS Beginner Navigation Course based in the North York Moors.

Summary: For those looking at getting started in the outdoors, or those wanting to start again from a clean slate. We will look into all of the basics including some basic uses of the compass. A great introduction to the navigation skills you need to get out and about. On completion of this award, participants will be able to plan and follow simple walks in the countryside mainly on paths and tracks.

Thanks to Peter, Ann, Keith and Hayley who attended the course and for bringing the sunshine to Yorkshire.

We managed to cover all of the syllabus and a lot more. The group left with lots of top tips and new techniques to allow them to navigate their way in the hills.

A few photos attached and also a little debrief form and some feedback from the group.





Feedback: The course was really informative. The tuition from Guy was relaxed, informative, hands-on and very relevant. We were shown all the techniques we needed to fulfill our requirements. At all times we felt completely comfortable,safe and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. We would have no hesitation in recommending this course.

Feedback: I really enjoyed the weekend and learnt a lot from it. I learnt a lot about maps I didn't know before. I will be a lot more confident when out walking in using a map and compass. Thanks to Guy he was a great instructor.
