A short evening hike near Stanton Drew on Dundry Hill, just south of Bristol, with youngsters on the DofE programme run by Briatol City Council Youth Services, in preparation for a longer hike in the Brecon Beacons on 6th May. For many of the youngsters, this was their first hike on the countryside, and quite an experience, especially when threatening clouds finally caught up with us, and we were caught in heavy rain and wintry-cold downdraughts.
There was some good navigation by the youngsters, so my colleague Brad must have done a good job on the preceding indoor training evenings.
