Mountain Navigation Skills weekend course 
Great Langdale, Lake District
1st & 2nd June 2013

7 people enjoyed a weekend of navigation skills training in the Lake District. We were blessed with sunny weather, clear skies and great visibility, which is not so good for navigation training though (much better to have thick mist!). 

Headed up Pike O Blisco on Saturday, then longer day up Bowfell on Sunday.

Great group and great weather in Great Langdale!

Next Mountain Navigation Skills course on 29th & 29th September based at Coniston in the Lakes - just 1 place left!

Birks Fell (610 metres)

A 10-mile walk from Buckden, in Upper Wharfedale, up onto Horse Head Moor and Birks Fell, one of the the lowest "Hewitts" in England and Wales at 610 metres, or 2,000-feet!

Mountain Expedition
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.

Yorkshire Three Peaks
Sunday 21st April 2013

12 participants took part, who raised over £4,000 between them for various charities.

Three Peak Walkers were: Sarah, Karen, Vikki, Julie, Justyna, David, Jack, Graham, Damian, Mark, Patrice and Craig. Guided by Mark Reid and Kath Needham

Set off at 7:15am at Ribblehead, and finished at 7:25pm. Climbed Whernside first, then Ingleborough and finally Pen-y-ghent.

Weather was cold, blustery with some showers in the afternoon, and then the sun came out for the last 2 hours.

WELL DONE EVERYONE - the Yorkshire Three Peaks is certainly a challenge walk!

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...
