NNAS Navigation Courses
Lake District Guiding is an approved course provider for NNAS (National Navigation Award Scheme) courses. The NNAS helps people maximise their pleasure in the outdoors through the development of skills for finding their way safely in the countryside. The scheme is aimed at people of all ages and abilities who seek to explore the countryside with confidence.
The nationally recognised scheme is endorsed and supported by Mountain Leader Training UK, the British Orienteering Federation and Sports Leaders UK.
All courses include route planning and instruction on good safety practice including emergency procedures. In addition, courses include information about access legislation in England, Wales and Scotland and other issues pertinent to access for walkers in the countryside. All courses include an understanding of environmental issues and human impact on land.
Participants normally begin with the Bronze NNAS Award and progress through the Silver and Gold Awards, with periods of further experience and consolidation between.
