Womens Hill Skills - Tues 26th Aug (Eve)

Course or workshop description

Whinlatter - contour skills evening 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. Whinlatter - contour skills Contours are hard to get your head around, but are a really important part of navigating! This evening walk will take us up Whinlatter, and we will look at interpreting all of those wiggly lines on the map. The walk will be around 6km, with around 300m of height gain, so will feel like one of our medium walks. We tend to stop more when we are looking at map skills, so the pace won't be too fast. Bring a picnic dinner with you! Timings: 5.30 - 9pm Meeting point: Whinlatter 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 headtorch if possible The days are funded by the Outdoor Partnership.
