I walked with a chap years ago who knew I was learning more hill and safety skills. Every time we had a break he made me take the OS map out and relate it to the ground. Incredibly useful skill.

Also, helping my friend out with training in nav made me realise: I learned so much years ago from walking with other experienced navigators/hill people. There's fewer of them around now, most people use phones. And there's less sharing of vital tips.

😂 I like to remark "Manchester's still there, then." In case anyone might've been a bit worried it had wandered off in the night.

My mother never flew again after CDG. We couldn't work out how to get out of the airport. 😂 I swear at one point I was considering just giving in and going home.
