March 4, 2023, Komoot workshop and community hike at SHAFF - Peak District

Another fabulous @komoot community hike - this time in the Peak District as part of Sheffield Adventure Film Festival! @Grace and I led a komoot workshop in the Alpkit store in Hathersage in the morning and then we all went for a lovely walk afterwards.
