Afternoon Folks,
Ok feel free to absolutely bombard us with info on this thread...it's what it's here for!
First of all, after attending the Middlewood Meet and being present at Twodogs Talk on expedition planning, myself and the other two members of the young bunch team BrianTrubshaw (Brian) and TheNative (Bill) have been truly inspired to go on some sort of longer trip. Were going to start a little closer to home as we have the peak district on our doorstep. So my first question to you all is...can you recommend any:
Things I feel you need to know are:
Kit lists will be posted shortly for you all to rip apart J
Ok thats all for the June trip... however! To get a taste of the peak district and a kind of practice run, we are planning on doing a weekend Getting there Friday early eve (5ish) and leaving Sunday afternoon in March. This will be more of a static camp, we will find a location and more than likely stay there the full weekend, or at least if we do move, we wont be going as far, so can anyone recommend us a location or area to head to at the end of march? The same sort of principles apply, woodland, water source etc. Kit lists will no doubt be posted for this as well. And once again, anyone can join us if they wish!
Thank you in advance
Regards
The Young Bunch!

Were going to start a little closer to home as we have the peak district on our doorstep. So my first question to you all is...can you recommend any:
- Trails?
- Specific locations or things to see? (ive heard about the overexposed nuclear bomber crash site etc...sounds kinda cool)
- And any transport links?
Things I feel you need to know are:
- We plan on making this a 4-5 day hiking trip
- We would preferably like to have some woodlands to pitch up in (hammocks) however this isnt a necessity as ill be taking a tarp so could potentially bivvy.
- We would also like to have some sort of water source so we dont have to carry all of it. I am planning on taking 2 litres and being able to collect the rest and treat it using puritabs or boiling. This will also be used for washing pots etc. So maybe following a river/stream?
- If anyone wants to join us for a day or something...let me know! Youre all welcome.
Kit lists will be posted shortly for you all to rip apart J
