$Bronze NNAS Beginners Navigation Course (Eryri\/Snowdonia)$

I am pleased to announce that I will be delivering the Bronze NNAS Courses in Eryri (Snowdonia) this coming year. I am also delighted to welcome Becky Jeffrey to my small team, who will be co-leading the courses with me.
This is a great place to start if you want to learn how to use a map and compass to navigate safely outdoors. This is a two-day course that will take place on lower-level routes on recognised paths and bridleways.
