2nd Training Day 10th November 2007

The second training day was a great success as we ascended Grinsbrook and navigated our way accross Kinder Scout to Kinder Downfall. The day itself was probably one of the worst days, weather wise and challenged the group in terms of endurance and finding our way accross the barren landscape. The peat bog also provided a new experience and bonded the group when someone (not mentioning any names) got stuck and had to be dug out. We thought twice before venturing out into the peaty wildnerness, but everyone united in feeling that we couldn't back out on the day itself - so out we ventured.
