National Navigation Award Scheme participants on a walk

Moorland Adventure are approved providers of the National Navigation Award Scheme (NNAS) and if course participants wish they can work towards gaining a Bronze or Silver NNAS qualification.

For participants wanting to obtain the Silver NNAS Award, the award has training and assessment stages, this involves a minimum of 12 hours training and an 8 km assessment hike.

The course is intended to give people the opportunity to develop the skills needed for good navigation in open country and mountains. As well as navigation we will look at kit, mountain safety and first aid.

The programme will start in a classroom and look at the map and compass basic skills, and finish with several full ‘mountain’ days (in the Peak District). The minimum age for course attendance is 16.
