Womens Hill Skills - Monday 11th August

Course or workshop description

Cogra Moss - gentle walk These days are specifically for women living in West Cumbria, and are funded by The Outdoor Partnership through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund. We'll go on a different walk each month, have a lovely time outdoors, and build up your hill skills, looking at areas such as map reading, choosing routes, and safety on the hills. The days will be really supportive and fun, we'll go at a pace to suit the group, and each month will be a little different. Car shares can be arranged within the group, via our Womens Hill skills WhatsApp group. Cogra Moss - Gentle walk This walk will take us around the lovely Cogra Moss reservoir by Lamplugh. We will go at a fairly relaxed pace, and will teach some navigation skills for anyone new to using a map. The walk will be around 7km, with less than 200m of height gain. Most of the track will be wide, gravel tracks that are easy to walk on, with a few shorter sections of grassy/narrow paths. Most of the uphill or downhill sections will be gentle. You don't need to feel hill fit for this walk, but you do need to be able to walk outdoors for around 4 hours. Timings: 09.30am - 3pm Meeting point: Felldyke parking You will need: lunch and a drink comfortable clothes suitable for the outdoors warm layers walking boots waterproof jacket, and waterproof trousers if you have any small rucksack walking poles optional The days are funded by the Outdoor Partnership.
