You do not have to complete the NNAS Bronze Award before the Silver, but you might find it useful.

It is a very practical, enjoyable and hands-on weekend which will provide you with all those necessary skills you need to plan mountain walks, take the lead and explore.

  • Use landforms and point features to orientate the map and as collecting and catching features.
  • Deviate briefly from a compass bearing to avoid obstacles or difficult terrain and accurately regain the original line.
  • Measure distance on the ground in varied, open terrain using timing and pacing and make practical allowances for any discrepancies.
  • Simplify legs using coarse navigation, attack points and fine navigation.

If that all sounds very daunting and scary, don’t worry! We are very friendly and approachable and will happily go over things with you time and time again until you feel totally happy and confident.
