Hi All,
I am waiting for some important news to come through within the next fortnight then i (maybe 2 of us) can apply for a MT NR tag.
So i went out yesterday and tagged on the end of a party of school kids training for the annual ten tors walk on Dartmoor national park.
So i put on a light pack and set off, pretty cold day, and when we started the fog was so thick we couldn't see further than 50 yards, my leader showed me some basics with map and compass (gps aids are banned on this walk) and off we went.
Today i am feeling it, 11 miles non stop fairly fast walk, and the same again in 2 weeks time only it will be 15 miles then and i will increase the weight in my pack.
The ground can be hard granite, heather or bog!
As they say failure to prepare,prepare to fail.
Cheers
Richard
