Out on my Compass & Contours course today on the flanks of Ingleborough.

In addition to focussing on all things contours we also visited an Anglo-Scandinavian longhouse, numerous shakeholes and potholes, impressive waterfalls and quiet hidden valleys.

Another remote wild camp in the Lake District. Changeable weather & hardly saw another person all weekend.

These trips are much more than a 2 day mountain journey. They’re about decision making, weather, kit, steep ground, leave no trace, purifying water, going to the loo…

2 days in the Lake District with a remote wild camp.

Great group, quiet mountains, beautiful views. Life affirming stuff.

TeamWalking Top Tips #8 - THUNDERSTORMS

"Oooh... did you see that lightning on the hill over there?!"

If you hear thunder or see lightning, it's time to seek shelter.

Avoidance is key - get a weather forecast before you head outdoors & plan accordingly.

"It's just a bit of hail. It'll pass soon..."

Hail, lightning and thunderstorms are inextricably linked - it's how hail is formed! Time to head off the summit if it's hailing.
