Bempton Cliffs

12.2.12 Walking with;Ruth I thought the perfect walk for a rehabilitating knee would be a nice gentle stroll along an East Yorkshire coastal path with the chance to observe a few early season seabirds as a decent bonus. A walk was necessary after nearly a month of inactivity not to mention some superb Haddock and

Blencathra via Scales Tarn

18.1.12 Walking with; Al My last walk before the knee operation so wanted to make it a good one, and where better than The Lake District. At 868m, Blencathra is a top 20 Lakes Peak, but as far as the Northern Fells go it is second only to Skiddaw and affords magnificent views in all

15.1.12 Walking with; Rob and Helen A perfect Sunday walk in the sunshine with a couple of short climbs rewarded with disproportionately spectacular views of the Hope and Edale valleys and the Kinder Plateau. We started out of Castleton, passing the path to “The Devil’s Arse” cavern and following the gentle contours along the frosty

Nantlle Ridge

12.1.12 Walking with; Al A beautiful, wild, windy day out in Snowdonia without another walker in sight. We parked up at the very picturesque Rhyd Ddu railway station, scenically set with Snowdon (hidden by cloud) as a spectacular backdrop. We set out across very swampy land, before passing Drwyscoed Uchaf farm and starting the lengthy
