Bronze National Navigation Award

Return to Holiday Ideas
Map reading and navigation

The bronze course is the introductory level of a range of practical courses aimed at enabling walkers to gain the necessary skills to navigate in a variety of terrain.

This staged scheme offers a systematic and progressive approach to finding your way round in the countryside and allows you to walk independently with increased confidence. No prior experience is necessary for this course, and on completion of the award, participants will be able to plan and follow simple walks in the countryside, mainly on paths and tracks.

The course takes place over the weekend and includes how to choose simple navigation strategies and routes, understand access rights and responsibilities and understand the procedures to be followed in the event of an emergency. Not only do you gain a number of essential skills, this is also an opportunity to experience some of the most beautiful countryside in the country.
