Slightly different video to my usual offering. No wild camping or hiking!!
Just for a change, me and Daz, (who you may recognise from my last video) headed up to The Lakes to have a go at Via Ferrata Xtreme at Honister Slate Mine. It's only a short one briefly documenting our day out and experience.
If you aren't familiar with what Via Ferrata is, roughly translated from Italian it means 'Iron Path'. For a brief history of Via Ferrata, follow this link [ Ссылка ]
Basically it's a way of climbing up and around cliffs using built in iron steps whilst remaining clipped to a safety line. It's probably easier to watch the video than for me to try and explain it. You'll see from the video that it's pretty high up but it was a great experience with some stunning views.
For this activity we used Hayley Webb Mountain adventures and I can't speak highly enough of Hayley. She has a wealth of knowledge on all things outdoors and is really friendly. She also likes to have a good laugh and there was plenty of banter going on all day.
Hayley runs a massive range of activities and I'll be travelling to Nepal with her in 2022 to trek to Everest Basecamp which is going to be epic. I'm also booked on a Winter Skills Course which was due to take place in 2020 but due to the pandemic was postponed. So basically most of my salary is going straight to Hayley!!

I hope you enjoy this video despite it being slightly different.
As always, feel free to ask me any questions.
Cheers
Rob
