Burbage

Today was our annual Duke of Edinburgh's Award navigation training. All those who are interested in doing their D of E, come out to Burbage Moor with us and we go through the basics while getting cold, wet, fed up and stuck in bogs. We're quite happy for it to be nasty, as bad weather sorts out the serious ones from the "I've only come because of my mate" types.

For the first time ever, we had good weather. There was no rain, there were not really any bogs, there was no fog, and there was no snow. Okay, so it was cold, but the sun was out and visibility was excellent.

It's not a day where we walk very far - more a day where we walk slowly and deliberately. Oh, and as usual it was rounded off with fish & chips in the pub!
