Description

Navigation session for five ladies. They also wanted to achieve high pike as part of their wainwright ticking, therefore we started at Nether Row from the back of my house. Very convenient!
Nice weather, bit of a chilly breeze up on the top still. Covering pacing, naismiths, tick features, Handrailing, catching features, bearings.
Six hours of learning in the outdoor classroom is generally enough before brain's don't take any more information in.

Area : Northern Fells

The Northern Fells occupy a circular area about 10 miles in diameter. The centre is slightly lower, an area of upland grazing and marshland known as Skiddaw Forest. This name may be misleading since the only trees form the windbreak of Skiddaw House. This isolated building, was once a shepherd's bothy. It currently serves as a youth hostel. Skiddaw Forest stands at the head of the three major rivers of the Northern Fells. The Caldew, Dash Beck and the Glenderaterra. These streams divide the circular area into three distinct sections.
