NNAS Gold Training course

NNAS Gold Navigation Skills
Hawes, Wensleydale
March 2019

This advanced 2-day course took us up onto the fells above Wensleydale, including Lovely Seat (675m) and Addlebrough / Greenber Edge area above Aysgarth. This course gives people the skills to navigate across complex and demanding terrain, away from paths and tracks, with an emphasis on contour interpretation.

Lovely Seat is one of the finest fells in the Yorkshire Dales, but the route to its summit from Sedbusk is also one of the most challenging, with no paths and miles of peat hags, stream channels and bog! This made for perfect terrain and conditions for this course.

This course was accredited to the National Navigation Award Scheme's 'Gold' Award

We had rain, strong winds, hail and sun, which made for an enjoyable and adventurous couple of days.

Yorkshire Dales 600s

After 9 years of walking up 42 summits, I've finally completed the Yorkshire Dales 600s!

There are 42 mountains and fells in the Yorkshire Dales over 600 metres, with a relative height of 20 metres or more. 

Some of the summits are well-known and well-trodden, whilst others only see one or two pairs of boots each year.

The highest is Whernside (736m) and the lowest is Brownber Head (601m).

This photographic journey began in February 2010 and I finally completed the Yorkshire Dales 600s in January 2019, with a walk to the 'summit' of Brownber Head.

Cheers, Mark Reid
