Howgill Fells - map and navigation skills

NNAS Silver award
Navigation skills weekend in the Howgill Fells.

The Howgill Fells are a superb range of hills that are perfect for walking. We also included 2-hours of night navigation at the end of the walk (poor visibility) to help focus the skills learnt over the day. 

Based the course from the Black Swan at Ravenstonedale - great pub.

If you are looking to improve your map, compass, navigation and hill skills then we offer the complete skills courses for walkers! http://www.teamwalking.co.uk/navigation-skills-courses.html

Boots and Beer Walking Festival 2011

Boots and Beer Walking Festival

Wensleydale, Yorkshire Dales

Boots and Beer Walking Festival last weekend, with the Yorkshire Dales at their blustery best!

400 walkers, 15 superb walks and 20 great pubs.

13 out of the 15 walks were self-guided with checkpoints (and pubs) along the way (all of the routes were researched by me). I took a guided walk on a 'moorland navigation day' on Friday up onto Drumaldrace and then I took another group over Great Shunner Fell to the Farmers Arms at Muker on Saturday. Roll on next year!

'The Inn Way' walking experience - June 2011

'The Inn Way' walking experience

 A historical journey of exploration in the Yorkshire Dales

23rd & 24th June 2011

In late June, I guided a wonderful group of people along Stages 3 & 4 of 'The Inn Way... to the Yorkshire Dales'

DAY ONE

From the Kings Arms at Askrigg, we climbed up onto Askrigg Moor before dropping down through Oxnop Ghyll to Ivelet Bridge, where we looked at the old coffin stone and talked about the legends associated with this ancient packhorse bridge. The haymeadows were in full bloom as we walked across fields to Gunnerside and lunch at the Kings Head (superb food). The afternoon saw us walk across more meadows, then past a spectacular waterfall along Haverdale Beck before climbing up onto Harkerside, with beautiful retrospective views across Swaledale. The final section of the walk took us alongside the Swale to Grinton, where we stayed at the Bridge Inn - great food and beer! The day's weather was a mixture of sharp showers and sunny spells.

DAY TWO

From Grinton, we climbed up across Grinton Moor, through old lead mines to reach Greets Hill, from where a track took us into hidden Apedale and the shooters' hut at Dent's Houses (complete with visitor's book). The sun was now shining so we did some barefoot walking across the moors. A slight incline took us up onto Black Hill and then a long descent, with wonderful views across Wensleydale, to the incredible fortress of Bolton Castle. After refreshements, delightful field paths took us to Carperby (Wheatsheaf Inn) and then along Oxclose Road (the old road through Wensleydale) to Woodhall and Worton, where we had a final drink at the legendary Victoria Arms before crossing a couple of fields back to Askrigg. A wonderful day of warm sunshine.

We walked around 14 miles each day and managed to visit five pubs.

Thanks to Mark, Tony, Marie, Linda, Terry, Tony, Brian and Jo for joining me on this walk.

Why not book onto our next guided walk in the Lake District?
