Cavill Coaching are hosting a winter training weekend which will focus on training for the winter Spine events. It will also be beneficial to anyone who may be considering such an event in the future.

We will host the weekend and provide talks and discussions on the relevant skills, strategies and equipment required. We will also take you out on sections of the Pennine way, providing transport to and from the start of the sections to enable best use of time and flexibility for those who would like to do more or less.

Activities over the weekend are all optional so people can dip in and out of sessions as they wish.

Over the weekend, we will cover from the A66 to Alston, which comprises some challenging sections to navigate as well as some of the most beautiful (High Cup Nick, High force waterfall, Cross fell) that will be broken down over the weekend into manageable sections. For those doing the full Spine it is a great chance to see the new checkpoint at Langdon Beck.
