21.5.14Walking with; Graham I’ve mentioned before that Loughrigg Fell is particularly well suited to practicing navigation on. It attains no great height, but it is easily accessible and covered in lumps, bumps, gullies, tarns, streams and wiggly contours of the most perplexing type.

12 and 14.5.14Walking with; Graham In spite of the beautiful weather we have been having of late I’ve not managed to get out as much as I would have liked, it’s been a combination of factors ranging from a general ennui through to family get togethers, none-the-less I managed a couple of outings last
10.5.14Walking with; Ruthy and Rach Sometimes in this world of highest, longest, fastest and furthest where the walking blogosphere is filled with tales of derring-do as packs are hefted across the wilds of Scotland, one forgets about the simple pleasures afforded by a gentle stroll amongst the plants and birdlife of Spring. Sometimes, simply

26.4-2.5/2014Walking with; Ruthy, Jay and Iona It’s not often that one is afforded the luxury of a whole week in Cumbria and the Lakes, but a cottage had been booked, time off taken and a week of hill related fun was planned. As a prospective ML it was a good challenge organising a schedule of
14-21.4.14Walking with; Ruthy, Paul and Stephen In the week that the Peak District National Park was celebrating it’s 63rd birthday, it seemed appropriate to stay local and enjoy the beautiful weather in the oldest National Park in the UK and the second most visited in the world (behind Mt Fuji apparently). It was the

I left Manchester under cloud but by the time I arrived in Conwy the sun was shining and the sky was blue dotted with a few cotton wool cumulus. The YHA http://www.yha.org.uk/hostel/conwy is a modern building
1/2/3.4.14Walking with; Al Choosing my favourite Lakeland valley is a little bit like being asked to name the best player in the Welsh rugby team of the 70s or the best pub in Manchester, there are many, many viable options in the frame. However, just as the names of JPR and “The Briton’s Protection” end
26/27.03.14Walking with; Graham As I continue to work towards my ML I find myself spending a lot of time on lumpy, bumpy fells where micro-navigation can be practiced.
