Womens Hill Skills - Weds 3rd Dec

Course or workshop description

Evening walk - navigating and walking in the dark! 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. Flat Fell - Cleator Moor This walk will start just before it gets dark, and we will walk in to the evening. This will be great if you want to experience walking at night, and learn some tips for navigating in poor visibility (for example, if you got caught out in the fells after dark by accident, or if it's really misty and hard to see). We will do a circuit of Flat Fell by Cleator Moor. We will mostly stick to the paths and the walk will be around 5km with max 200m of height gain. We will be going at a gentle pace, and will take headtorches with us! Timings: 4pm - 7.30pm Meeting point: Cleator Moor You will need: food and a drink headtorch!
