Outdoor Web Bites Number 4

A SERIES OF WEB BASED OUTDOOR SNIPPETS YOU MAY HAVE MISSED

First up – The Above and Beyond Challenge

The online retailer and adventure specialist, Above & Beyond, are holding a two-day outdoor event based in Northumberland, created to test the stamina and endurance of all those who enter.

Called The Challenge, the event will see participants taking part enjoy a night of free camping at Ingram before being bussed (free of charge again) to Kirk Yetholm in Scotland.

From there, they navigate to Clennell Hall in Northumberland National Park, via a route of their own choosing. However, they must hit a series of check points along the way, which will ensure they experience some of the region’s most impressive scenery and well-know hills.

Then, after another night of free camping in the grounds of Clennell Hall (which, being only 40 minutes away from the Kielder Obseratory, is free from light pollution and promises incredible night skies), they set off again in the morning to find their way back to where it all began in Ingram.

The Above & Beyond Challenge is being documented by Outdoor Photographer of the year, Greg Whitton. And over the two days, those taking part can expect to cover around 40 miles of beautiful terrain; although this will vary for each participant as there’s no fixed route and the path they take between checkpoints is up to them.

Go Outdoors launch the Camping Cook Book

A couple of months ago I was asked by Go Outdoors if I’d like to participate and offer a couple of my favourite camping recipes for their new cook book. Sure, why not?

The result is a collection of 28 mouth-watering options, including breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert and snacks. Including some great sounding stuff such as Asparagus Pancetta Skillet Hash, Foraged Mussels, Grill Beef and Parsnip Stew and Very Berry No Bake Crumble, there’s a little something for everyone, and every meal.
