Ever been caught out after dark on a walk or fancy exploring at night? Navigating at night adds another level of complexity, and what may be straightforward in daylight is less so after dark.
The NNAS Night Owl is a practical, hands-on course designed by the NNAS’s experienced team of navigators to introduce you to some of the techniques to make you a confident and effective night navigator.
This is a 4 hour late afternoon / evening course with at least 2 hours in darkness. We will navigate through a mixture of open farmland, woodland and open access areas, practicing all our navigation strategies, honing our night time spatial awareness and cover the use of appropriate kit and equipment. You’ll cover speed, timing, night-time pacing, contours and relocation along with various navigation strategies that will help you improve the accuracy of your navigation.
As you would expect from an NNAS course, the NNAS Night Owl will be taught by suitably qualified and experienced tutors. It is expected that attendees will have some experience of navigation before attending, such as the Outdoor Discovery Award (ODA) 2 Star, NNAS Bronze Navigator Award, other recognised awards or simply have plenty of practical experience!
On completion you will gain an NNAS Night Owl Certificate!
