Dusting off the compass | Important Channel Update and Happy New Year !
In this video, I take the young adventurers on their first hike using their new gear including new walking boots and rucksacks. I decided it was time to brush up on my map and compass skills, which I was once very proficient at. I will be joining a course at some point this year, so if anyone knows any decent ones, please let me know in the comments.
I explain why the content has tapered off at the moment, due to an unexpected change in my personal circumstances which has led to greatly reduced free time. I will adapt the content for the time being, so please bear with and understand there will be some more reviews and day hikes etc for the time being; for me this is the preferable alternative to making no new content at all.
If you have any suggestions for content, QA videos, live streams etc - please do let me know as the more interaction the better.
We used the map and compass to practice navigating to the summit of Pendle Hill in some at times, claggy and misty weather. Lunch in the summit shelter and a warming hot chocolate courtesy of the Speedster stove.
This was a lovely circular route which saw our descent via the commonly ascended steps of doom; we finished with a pint in the Pendle Inn.
Happy new year and thank you for watching - Chris
