Beginner Navigation Course

Great two day practical navigation course, our course leaders, Paul on day one and Stephen on day two were friendly and very knowledgeable, making it easy to ask questions. Well balanced between theory and practice of the skill, left feeling ready to plan and get out navigating my own routes. Definitely recommend and will return when ready for the next level of training.

Pure Outdoors - Silver Navigation Coure

I have just attended the Silver Navigation course with Pure Outdoors. It was a very good two days with lots of skills learnt. Emma and Ollie our two instructors were very good and ensured that we got out on too the moors and put the theory into practice over the two days. I would thoroughly recommend the course and Pure Outdoor.

a brilliant experience

What a great experience. We were a bit nervous, not ever having done any navigation before. Gavin was a brilliant teacher. He created a great atmosphere and just made the experience so enjoyable. Thoroughly recommend.

Navigation Course (NNAS) with Pure Outdoor

Excellent 2 Day Navigation Course (NNAS) Bronze with Pure Outdoor..Having not really touched a compass for nearly 40yrs and since retiring doing a lot more walking was time to update the navigation skills. Great tuition from instructor Rick for the two days at exactly the right level and making it a enjoyable weekend with classroom input going over maps/Kit etc and walking right on the doorstep to put into practice.. Great facilities at the Adventure Hub with free tea and coffee and great communication pre and post course with plenty of parking.. Would definitely recommend Pure Outdoor and instructor Rick if your considering this course or other course/activities offered…I will be looking at the next level silver…..

Brilliant

I recently tried an offline map and navigation app, and I must say, it has been a game-changer for me. The app's intuitive interface makes it easy to navigate even in unfamiliar areas. It provides accurate directions and reliable offline maps, which is particularly useful when internet access is limited. The user-friendly design ensures that anyone can use it without any hassle. Overall, I highly recommend this app to anyone who needs reliable offline navigation.
