Summary: The progresssion, perhaps you have been walking for a year or two or maybe you have never had any formal training and would like some. If you have a bit of experience (self-taught) or are progressing from a beginner course, this is the next step! On this course you will explore some of the many attributes of the compass and become more at home with its uses. On completion of this award participants will be able to plan and follow walks in the countryside away from paths and tracks.

Syllabus: The learning outcomes: (additional to those of the Bronze Award)

ť Demonstrate knowledge and application of the Countryside Code and current access legislation as for the Bronze level together with an appreciation of basic environmental factors in mixing 'man with nature' (e.g. footpath erosion and methods of dealing with it), and responsibilities towards other countryside interests like farming, forestry and conservation.
