I thought I would have another Blog session since it is so long since I last did one. Over the past few years I have got into walking more and more, I joined the local walking group and eventually went on a navigation course where I learned how to read a map, plan a route and walk it, using landmarks, contour lines and any other clues at my disposal to follow the route using an Ordnance Survey map. Since then I have led a few walks and there is alot of pleasure to be had by looking at a map, planning a route you would like to take taking in features you would like to see or walk through, and then actually doing it with a group of people following you, who (usually) appreciate it. Today I co - led a walk in the Calderdale area and it was really nice, despite the fact that it rained a bit near lunchtime, but hardened walkers take it in their stride; if you have the right gear then weather is not a problem. We finished off by having cake and drinks in a local wholefood cafe.
