Private Navigation Training
We run private navigation courses that can be tailored to your requirements. Perhaps you are a member of a walking group, or a work team, or just feel you would benefit from a one-to-one navigation skills day, please contact us.
We offer map-reading training in three main locations: Moidart on the West Coast of Scotland, in Surrey and Sussex in the South of England. We can provide courses suitable for a range of abilities, from complete beginners up to proficiency in the mountains. We are providers for the National Navigation Award Scheme (NNAS) and offer Bronze and Silver level Awards based on two day courses.
Please contact us to discuss your requirements and arrange a date, then once agreed, book using the link below.
