Womens Hill Skills - Thurs 16th July

Course or workshop description

This walk will start at the Cold Fell road, and take us on a loop along the River Calder and then up over Cold Fell. The walk will be around 8km with about 250m of height gain, so it will still be slightly hilly but not as much as many of our other walks. This walk will be a mix of good tracks, and also smaller muddy paths with some steeper sections up and down. 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. Timings: 10am - 3.30pm Meeting point: we will email with final details before the walk Car shares can be arranged via our WhatsApp group, we will also try to choose routes accessible by public transport You will need: food 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 Get in touch with Esther via email or message/phone if you have any questions! ask@estherfoster.co.uk 07999366034
