BASIC NAVIGATION SKILLS COURSE - BRONZE LEVEL (NNAS)

Pinnacle Development and Coaching Ltd is an official provider of the National Navigation Award Scheme (NNAS). 

Our two-day navigation skills course on the beautiful Strathaird peninsular of the Isle of Skye is suitable for beginners or intermediate navigators.  Whether you are a novice or an experienced walker, the course will provide you with the skills you need to safely explore and enhance your enjoyment of the countryside.

At the end of the 2 days participants should be able to:

MAP SKILLS – interpret a map and understand features and symbols, contours and slopes, route planning, safe routes (avoiding hazards) and grid references.

NAVIGATION – plan a safe, suitable walk and use simple navigation strategies and routes.  Be able to relocate using simple techniques on paths and other handrails and estimate distance on both map and ground.

RESPONSIBILIITES – understand access rights and responsibilities, demonstrate an awareness of local and national access issues and knowledge of the Countryside Code. 

SAFETY – demonstrate awareness of the procedures to be followed in the event of an emergency.

On successful completion of this NNAS Bronze Level award you will receive a NNAS Bronze Level certificate.

The walks will begin on both Saturday and Sunday at 9:00am with a complimentary coffee whilst we discuss the day ahead and finish at around 5pm. Navigation training will take place on Saturday. There will be a route plan to complete on Saturday evening ready for Sunday's walk. Each person will navigate a leg of Sunday's walk, under supervision.
