This weekend throughout Friday, Saturday
and Sunday, Keswick Mountain Festival is taking place and there will be many
activities at Crow Park (opposite Theatre by the Lake beside
Derwentwater). The park is managed by
the National Trust so we will be heavily involved. If you visit, you will be able to choose from
“Fifty Things to Do” including tree-climbing, wild art and making mud
pies. You will also find other
contributors to the festival who will be organising different activities.
My contribution will be to offer an
introductory level navigation activity.
With the help of Rebecca, who is a Trust intern, I have set out a course
for a stand-alone trail from the park to Friars Crag and back through Cockshott
Woods. Becky took on the task of
producing the trail leaflets and signs. You
can just pick up one of those trail leaflets and head off or I will be on hand
if you want some help or advice.
By the time you have completed the trail,
you will have gained some experience in the two key areas of navigation – in
which direction and how far do you need to walk? You will learn something about compass work,
hand-railing (following a natural feature in the landscape) plus the timing and
pacing of fifty metres. These will be
fun to learn now and might be very useful in future.
Hi, it’s Daisy here.
I’m losing my teeth. I’ve got two sets of canines at the
moment. Is this normal? Roy seems to think it is.
