Well bigE & myself are in no rush home on Sunday,so we're open to ideas,we've been doing lots of pacing & timing & compass work,so it would be nice set out some navigation exercises including some interesting techniques bigE has learned,also feature finding,also some night nav,should be a good weekend

I just changed phone & number and didn't think to give Mourneman my new number....oops ::). So ended up having a solo camp at the shelter stone, it was a great night for star gazing  :D seen Perseus, Draco the Dragon, CASSIOPEIA, AURIGA (capella) and the Great Bear....great stuff

Good wee camp, chilly night though but stars were epic!
