Peak District Walking Weekender

4th - 6th April 2014

Hayfield, Peak District

Great weekend at Hayfield, with 14 people for our first Walking Weekender of 2014. 

Met up on Friday night at the Royal Hotel at Hayfield (great pub, by the way). Saturday, we split into two groups and headed up onto Kinder Scout. Lunch at Kinder Downfall, then we headed off up to Kinder Gates then across the peat hags and groughs for a bit of a navigation challenge. Headed down off Kinder Low via the Three Knolls and Bowden Bridge. 

Sunday, we did an easier walk to Birch Vale then up onto the fantastic viewpoint of Lantern Pike before dropping down for a drink at the Lantern Pike Inn.

Thanks everyone for a great weekend.

NNAS Bronze Award navigation skills course
29 & 30 March 2014
Malham, Yorkshire Dales

Just returned from running this 2-day course in the beautiful Yorkshire Dales, centred in the village of Malham. Not only did everyone significantly improve their map, compass, navigation and hill skills, but we also explored the stunning landscapes of Malham - Malham Cove, Janet's Foss, Weets Top, Kirkby Fell, Iron Age settlements and walls, 350 million year old limestone, old mines, monastic guideposts... plus we based the course from the brilliant Lister Arms at Malham.

NNAS Gold Training Course - Swaledale

15th & 16th March 2014

The high moors and fells above Swaledale in the Yorkshire Dales. 

Challenging conditions with 40 - 50mph winds, dense mist at times and complex terrain. Great for learning nav skills though. 

This is as challenging as navigation gets, but very rewarding.

The mist photo - we followed a bearing for 1.6km across the moors into 40mph winds with peat hags and deep groughs (water-cut channels through the peat), and hit the Trig Point bang on!

Grassington, Yorkshire Dales

NNAS 'Straight to Silver' navigation skills course
21st - 23rd February 2014
Buckden, Upper Wharfedale, Yorkshire Dales

NNAS Straight to Silver nav skills course at Buckden. On Friday we did a lowland walk around Buckden, Cray and Hubberholme. On Saturday, we went up onto Yockenthwaite Moor, an amazing landscape of peat hags and moorland with an hour and a half of night navigation down off the fell. Then on Sunday we got to the top of Buckden Pike in 60mph winds and horizontal rain. Funnily enough, we didn't see any other walkers during the 3 days....! It was the sort of weather that would make you normally decide to stay indoors or do a short walk to a cafe, but as it was a navigation skills course, and quite an advanced one at that, we went up to 700 metres in a storm. And very exhilarating it was too! My new Mountain Equipment Lhotse jacket stood up to what Mother Nature could throw at us quite admirably, and the hood was particularly good at keeping the stinging rain out of my eyes.

Buckden Pike... at night
