Summary: The compass master! A more intense and 'slick' version of the previous awards, this focuses on navigating using less features and in poor weather or the dark! On completion of this award, participants will be able to plan and follow routes in any open countryside, forest, or hill environment. You will have a lot of confidence in your navigation ability by the time you have passed this course
Syllabus: The learning outcomes: (additional to those of the Bronze & Silver Award)
» Show confidence in the use of the skills detailed for the Bronze and Silver awards in open countryside, forests and hill environments
» Demonstrate the use of contours, to identify landforms (e.g. hilltops, valleys, spurs, re-entrants and knolls) and utilise them as the prime method of navigation.
» Demonstrate use of ridges and valleys as reliable handrails and the size and relationship of contour features, (e.g. a series of knolls) and use them for micro navigation to specific locations.
» Demonstrate the use of distance judgement, compass skills and continuous contact (by frequent checking) in complicated areas. This involves the use of both map to ground and ground to map techniques, the selection of appropriate techniques for each situation, and the integration of these into a navigation strategy.
» Demonstrate the ability to plan a safe walk or route in open country in line with set criteria of duration, difficulty and objectives. This must involve “Gold” skills and strategies and may be used by the candidate for practice prior to assessment if appropriate.
» Demonstrate an understanding of the special physical and navigation demands posed by hill and moorland terrain, poor weather conditions, daylight hours and the effects of fatigue and discomfort on decision making and execution of a selected route. This includes awareness of the effects of heat and cold.
Pre requisites- Must understand the syllabus as outlined in the silver award. Achieving the silver award is necessary.
