Navigation Skills weekends

NAVIGATION SKILLS

This year's Navigation Skills (NNAS bronze level) have proved popular, with almost all of the monthly courses now sold out.

These weekend courses not only teach navigation skills, but route planning, weather forecasts, essential gear & equipment, emergency procedures plus much more, which are just as important as being able to safely find your way through the countryside.

I will be posting details of next year's courses on http://www.teamwalking.co.uk/ in autumn. Myself and Richard Tarran will be running monthly NNAS bronze and silver level courses throughout 2010.
