I know the RAF are no strangers to navigation but their younger colleagues have to start somewhere. So, over the last few days Steve and I have delivering an NNAS bronze level navigation course down at RAF Cosford. The base is a great place to spend a few days and the team were kind enough to put me up in my own three bedroom house for the duration - many thanks.

We spent a day learning essential skills and exploring the trails around the base then on day 2 we battled arctic conditions putting it all into practice at Cannock Chase. The team were great fun and picked up all the key skills really well. The second part of day 2 was spent assessing their ability to find various small features around the Chase and I’m happy to say they all passed with flying colours (RAF - flying colours……..get it?).

Thanks for a great few days to all at Cosford.
