Womens Hill Skills - Thursday 26th June

Course or workshop description

These days are specifically for women living in West Cumbria. 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. Thursday 26th June - rocky steps and loose ground workshop Location tbc This workshop will look at building skills on rocky, loose, or steep ground. We will look at judging terrain, moving better on rocky sections, and building confidence when the path isn't really a path! This day will be suitable for those that struggle with rocky sections, want to feel more confident on scree and loose ground, or are interested in doing some scrambling on their hikes! We won't walk that far during the day, but we will be off the paths a lot.
