Clear - sunny - good visibility / Moderate wind (DLOG)
| Location and role: | England, Pennines. Training for HML assessment in the outskirts of the Pennines. Solo walker. |
|---|---|
| Activity and conditions: | Used public paths for access, then explored unmarked paths. Fine weather. |
| Decisions and experience: | A whole wood that was visible on the map had been cut down. Walked on paths which did not appear on map and relocated using contours, aspect of slope, and occasionally an altimeter. But most importantly, enjoyed a great sunny day in the outdoors! |
