SCAFELL PIKE WALK




Nomenca asked for a walk to Scafell Pike for 30 members of their teams from across Britain. Having had previous experience of walking from Borrowdale, and the group having walked Snowdon and Ben Nevis before, we challenged them with one of the classic through walks from Mosedale through to the Great Moss in Eskdale, up to Mickledore and the summit, then back to Langdale. It was a great day with some cold but bright weather and even some snow showers on the tops. A tough walk though, with some welcome beer at the end at the Old Dungeon Ghyll.

TEAM BULD EVENT WITH LOUGHBOROUGH UNIVERSITY




Early May saw another team build event with Loughborough University, involving a range of outdoor activities and film making - each team had to make a film promoting the Lake District as 'The Adventure Capital' They were an excellent group as always and we had great fun watching the films!

NAVIGATION SKILLS WEEKEND


Denzil, Leanne and friends had a couple of cold days for their navigation skills course at the beginning of May, with sleet and hail on the fell tops for a while - ideal conditions for learning to navigate! Weekend courses run throughout the year - contact us for dates.

CLIMBING MIDDLEFELL BUTTRESS WITH JO AND MICK
