At Howl we specialise in journeying skills, the Bushcraft we practice and teach is that of the traveler. There is a wonderful simplicity that comes from taking a trip in the outdoors, a pragmatism gleaned from necessity. We draw from this experience in the field to teach a set of skills and knowledge based in expedience and realism, skills that actually get used while outdoors. We provide an insight into the Natural world, opening up a vast array of natural resources and knowledge to help you travel with less reliance on the contents of your rucksack: it’s what you carry in your mind that matters.

 

 We teach these practical skills in a friendly and open way, our hope being to enable you to make your adventures into the Great Outdoors memorable and enjoyable. We'll help you cultivate a positive attitude, a confidence in yourself, and a connection with the natural world through which you travel.

We promote the utmost respect for the environment, the ability to pass unnoticed through the woods brings with it a deeper understanding of the wilderness, and our part in it. It is this philosophy which forms the very core of our work.

Episode One - Alport Castles, Peak District

Hiking with Howl Podcast

A monthly podcast where we take you for a guided walk across some of our favourite country.

Each hike is supplemented with a detailed route should you wish to recreate our walk whilst listening.

Episode One - Alport Castles, Peak District

Jamie Dakota

Welcome to

Hiking with Howl

Episode one

The recording is meant act as a guide if you’re taking the walk for yourself, think of us as your audio companions to highlight points of interest and generally offer some conversation during sections of your walk.

If you’re listening at home, enter an immersive experience of nature, crunching leaves, trickling streams, high winds at times, and two friends holding discourse in the outdoors.

In this months episode we explore a spectacular shorter walk in the Peak District. We’ll be passing the waters of the Derwent and Howden reservoirs, famous for The Dambusters of WW2, and taking in the stunning views from Alport Castles. As one of the gems of the Peaks, Alport is the largest land slide in the UK and when approached the direction we come from in the episode it is sure to take your breath away.

It’s worth mentioning that the podcast is no substitute for a map, and the ability to read it. You’ll be walking at times in some pretty remote areas:

  • Make sure you confident in your abilities

  • Tell someone where you’re going and when you’re due back

  • Take a rucksack with a sensible set of kit

We’re also publishing each route through the Ordnance Survey online map service so members can access the detailed route card.

There is a high chance that you won’t have phone signal for the entirety of the walk, so be sure to download the episode to your
