Had a good day doing a little end of year unofficial “staff development” with 10 teachers from an East Riding Secondary School. The group had a broad mix of experience levels with some individuals that had hardly ever been in the hills at all.
We were going to do an introduction to scrambling on Halls Fell Ridge on Blencathra but the weather forecast suggested it would be in cloud most of the day. It also said the weather was likely to get better in the afternoon.
It’s always a good idea to be able to be flexible with your plans, especially with regard to weather. We changed our hill of choice and went up Causey Pike instead. We still got to do a bit of scrambling and most of the time were able to see the view. There were showers on and off throughout the day so we were glad of the group shelter whilst having our lunch.
The group did really well, they were a great laugh and are already making plans for next year.
This is the group just leaving the summit of Causey Pike
