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 Three - Wild Boar Clough

Jamie Dakota

Welcome to

Hiking with Howl

Episode three

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.

This month we visit the lesser trodden side of the Peaks, Bleaklow! This foreboding and impressive landscape is accessed from the Woodhead Pass, and immediately you’re into the wilds. We ascent a steep valley which involves some moderate scrambling in dry conditions, though the valley would be unclimbable in the wet with enough of a stream running. From the top we shoot for Hern Stones before returning via the Pennine Way, as we approach though you’ll find the podcast cuts to the finish as the classic weather of Bleaklow proves too much for our microphones and we make a quick get away in the growing dark.

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’re 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.
