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
