About NNAS:
The National Navigation award is a personal award scheme for all ages.
Training and assessment consists of uses a variety of maps to help you navigate around. By using this skill you will be able to enjoy more of the countryside, plus by attending the course you will hold a reconised personal performance award.
Six members of the Venture Out project attended the NNAS course run by Milestone Activites. There were a variety of abilities, but all in all everyone learnt enough to navigate themselves on their walks.
The course took part in 5 sessions, 4 half days classroom learning and 1 whole day out in the hills.
The objective of the course was to learn: Orientating maps, taking a bearing, checking the distance travelled, Timings on travel, looking at the features on the map to the actual ground and planning routes.
We delivered the course with the feedback from the participants and with this in mind we delivered a fun and achievable course. The feedback from the participants at the end of the course was supreme!
