Borrowdale, Lake District
27th & 28th April 2013
A bright and sunny day on Saturday, and then a wet and very windy day on Sunday. We met at Rosthwaite in Borrowdale, and then walked down the valley to Grange then up to Hause Gate, then up along the ridge across Maiden Moor to High Spy and Dale Head. We then dropped back into the valley, via Castle Crag.

Night Hike
Pen-y-ghent
Saturday 20th April 2013
Beautiful, cold evening with clear skies and bright moon.
Guided by Mark Reid, 7 people took part and we reached the summit just as the sun was setting behind Ingleborough. We walked back along Horton Scar Lane without torches as the moonlight was bright enough to see where we were going.

NNAS "Straight to Silver" navigation skills course
Grinton and Reeth in Swaledale, Yorkshire Dales
8th - 10th March 2013
Great 3-day course in the Yorkshire Dales, with sun, snow and wind! We based the course from the excellent Bridge Inn at Grinton - great beer and food. On Sunday we went up onto Calver Hill, with 35mph winds and a biting wind-chill of -15C! A great experience, and great training conditions for this more advanced navigation course...
