Compass bearings and contour appreciation are introduced and developed. National Navigation Award Scheme - Bronze Level The NNAS Bronze Level award is suitable for adults or older children. This is a two days (minimum) course, on which evening sessions may be used in conjunction with outdoor navigation. On completion of the course, students will be able to plan and safely follow walks in the countryside, promarily on paths and tracks. Our NNAS courses may be taken in conjumction with our wider programme of Walking, Wayfaring and Orienteering (see below); as part of a multi-activity programme, or on a 'stand-alone' basis. See the relevant section 'Adults'; 'Familes' or 'Education and Youth Groups' for details. Walking, Wayfaring and Orienteering with Mountain and Water Combine learning skills in map-reading and interpretation with outdoor adventure. Wayfaring and orienteering enhance both self-reliance or teamwork skills. Guided Walking: Let us plan a route to bring your curriculum to life! Mountain summits, geology, industrial heritage, plantlife, star-gazing... Wayfaring: An introduction to map and compass skills and a great way to learn the rudiments of navigation. It is an ideal introduction to pastimes such as hill-walking. And it's FUN! Orienteering: Just as much fun, but a more competitive experience. Working in pairs or small teams, children plan a route and collect the control points to complete the circuit in the best possible time.  Night Walk The countryside takes on a different atmosphere after dark, bringing all your senses into focus. The Brecon Beacons are reknowned for the quality of the night sky, making this an ideal place for night walking. Depending on the weather, and the phase of the moon, we may enjoy star gazing, moon watching, bat watching, night navigation and orienteering.... Come with an open mind and enjoy!
	All Walking, Wayfaring and Orienteering programmes are by arrangement, please contact us to discuss your ideas.
