Kinder Scout Training Session

Saturday 17th June 2006
Until now only Noman had been going into the hills training - he'd already been to Snowdon and Scafell in previous weekends. So Fil (who needed the exercise!) joined him and his mountain guide Mike in a jaunt up Kinder Scout, the highest point in the Peak District.
We got to base camp at 10:30am and went for a 3.5 hour walk taking in various different types of terrain. The weather was sunny and warm with a very welcome light breeze..
