The Outdoor Partnership asked Bryn Walking to provide an NNAS Bronze course after having provided 10 Social Prescribing sessions based in Llandrindod Wells. The Social Prescribing was very successful - the countryside and PROW offered a lot of options for a varied program of walks and was very popular. So following on from this I was excited to provide the NNAS Bronze course in the Llandrindod Wells area along with Janet Greenslade (HML) who had led most of the walks for Bryn Walking on the Social Prescribing sessions. The NNAS stipulate to keep the distance short as there is so much learning to do, so the routes on both days were no more than 4km. The landscape is ideal with an urban start but soon out on to open fields, the land is undulating so plenty of vantage points for surveying and relating ground to the map. Janet Greenslade and I had therefore met some of the participants before and it was nice to catch up with them again, as well as welcome new participants who didn't know the area at all. I always endeavour to keep the course relaxed and fun whilst they are learning a whole load of new skills. If participants are having fun, then they will learn more and it is very satisfying for me. All candidates were keen, receptive and great fun.
Well done to all, happy navigating and hope to see you on NNAS Silver Navigator Award. *** CONGRATULATIONS ***
