A Fantastic Day in the Peak District!

Today I had the pleasure of working with five fantastic people on a Beginner’s Navigation Course with Mountain Lynx Adventures, starting out at Langsett Reservoir in the beautiful Peak District.

We kicked the day off with an indoor session covering the fundamentals – map scales, identifying key features, measuring distance, and orientating the map. Once everyone was comfortable with the basics, we headed out onto the hills to put those skills into practice.

Out on the ground we added pacing and timing to the navigation toolkit, helping build confidence in moving across the landscape using the map.

Despite the forecast promising something different, we experienced just about every type of weather today 🌦️ — but that didn’t stop the learning, and it certainly didn’t dampen the enthusiasm of the group!

Now it’s over to them to keep practicing those new skills and building their confidence in the hills.

Thanks again to a brilliant group for making it such an enjoyable day!

Getting the miles in on the bikes again ahead of our Scottish expedition at the end of May 🚴‍♂️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
Back out on the Trans Pennine Trail today, riding from Barnsley over to Wakefield and back. A cracking ride and a good way to keep the legs turning while we build up for the big trip north.

Naturally there had to be a couple of brew and cake stops along the way ☕🍰 – it would be rude not to! We also stumbled across a lovely little bar en route… the kind of place where it would have been very easy to park the bikes up and spend the rest of the afternoon.

Peer Led Hill & Moorland Day – Ilkley Moor

Wow, what an amazing day out on Ilkley Moor with a group of very experienced and knowledgeable leaders.

As part of the Mountain Training Association Yorkshire region’s peer-led programme, we spent the day sharing ideas and experience around navigation, group management, and leadership in the hills. The discussions focused on how we can best educate and inspire the people we work with while always keeping them safe in the mountain environment.

One of the best parts of these days is the opportunity to learn from each other. Everyone brought a huge amount of knowledge and practical experience, and it was great to openly share skills, ideas, and approaches. I think it’s fair to say we all took something valuable away from the day.

These peer-led days are always great fun and are facilitated by volunteers for Mountain Training Association members. They are a brilliant opportunity for anyone working towards an assessment to practice skills, build confidence, and learn from others in a relaxed environment.

If you’re an MTA member, keep an eye on Tahdah and sign up — it’s a fantastic way to develop your skills and it’s completely free.

Thanks to everyone who came along and contributed to such a great day on the moor.

What a weekend!!!!

We kicked things off in the Lake District with a brilliant day paddling on Bassenthwaite Lake, making the most of the stunning surroundings while also experimenting with using video as a coaching tool — a great way to review technique and help everyone progress.

Our base for the trip was the fantastic Fisher Gill Camping Barn in Thirlmere, and having it all to ourselves made it even better. Proper mountain vibes and a great place to recharge after a full day on the water.

This morning’s plan was to hit the trails for some mountain biking in the Lakes… but the weather had other ideas! 🌧️ No problem though — we adapted, headed back south, and made the most of it at Leeds Urban Bike Park, blasting around the trails and finishing the weekend on a high.

Safe to say, it’s been a full-on, action-packed weekend… and I’ll definitely be sleeping well tonight!
Bring on the next adventure!
