Day out in the Simonside Hills

Day out in the Simonside Hills

In preparation for the Geoffrey Gordon Cup next weekend we had a day out in the hills to do a bit of navigation practice. We had a good go at doing back bearings, walking in a compass party and timing and pace counting. The navigation was challenging at times as lots of the trees that were shown on the map were no longer there. We all had a great day and despite the rain could still get a good view of the snow capped Cheviots
