Night hike practice run
On Tuesday night I was glancing at an OS map of Maidenhead to check out a route that the 19th Maidenhead Scouts would be navigating. 4km long, with about 14 stops, and 1.5 hours to do it – it was focusing heavily on precise navigation rather than walking speed. Just to “be prepared”, I loaded up the route into both GPS devices I own.
Up comes Wednesday evening. Parking a short distance from the start point, 14 of us gathered at the start point and began the crucial first step in our two groups: making sure everyone knows where they are on the map. MP3 players removed and torches switched on, we head off on our journey into the night.
