COMPASSWORKS

Bob and Yvonne Adamson

We started 2012 with a fairly busy January, with some private days, an Introduction to GPS course and a fun Navigator level 1! We also enjoyed a good Navigator level 2 at the beginning of February, which I will tell you about next time.

CONGRATULATIONS to HAYLEY RADFORD for passing her NNAS BRONZE on 15th January – well done Hayley.

NAVIGATOR LEVEL 1 and PRACTICE DAY

10th & 11th MARCH 2012 - Designed mainly for beginners or those who wish to enhance their existing knowledge. So many things to find on a map that you wouldn’t normally look for and, with the aid of a compass, you and your friends can go anywhere! You can take your NNAS Bronze on day 2, if you wish.

NAVIGATOR LEVEL 2 and PRACTICE DAY

14th & 15th APRIL 2012 – More fun skills to add to your toolbox and stop you getting lost. Learn techniques which are especially useful in poor weather conditions or even in the dark! You can take your NNAS Silver on day 2, if you wish.

NAVIGATOR LEVEL 3 and PRACTICE DAY

17th & 18th MARCH 2012 - Yet more challenges and fun! – Consolidate those skills already acquired and learn more about contours and how to navigate without a compass by using visual aspects of the landscape around you. We will also be looking at using nature as a navigational tool. Work towards your NNAS Gold and/or Walking Group Leader.

AN INTRODUCTION TO GPS

23rd JUNE 2012 – If you would like to know how to use your GPS, or even try one out, now is your chance – we provide GPS units and lunch for this one day Course at just £69.00.

POOR VISIBILITY and NIGHT NAVIGATION

25th FEBRUARY 2012 – Last chance before the evenings get too light. It’s good fun learning to navigate in the dark, using skills acquired on our Navigator level 2 course or equivalent standard. Next course 1st December 2012!

NNAS ASSESSMENTS

NNAS assessments at Bronze and Silver levels can be taken on the Practice days of our Navigator levels 1 & 2 courses, at an additional cost of just £20.00. For those wishing to take their Gold, we will organize a separate day and the cost is £50.00.

PRIVATE NAVIGATION DAYS

Private Navigation can be arranged during the week or at weekends, tailored to suit the needs of the individual or groups.

COMPASSWORKS VOUCHERS are a good idea for that special walking friend or relative, for as much or as little as you wish

The Compassworks Team would like to thank you all for your continued support.

Best Wishes The Compassworks Team
