I have to admit that when I first thought about visiting Japan I had very little idea that there was so much fantastic hiking.

Last weekend was our first Duke of Edinburgh training of 2023 and it is a sure fire sign that things are starting to get busy and our UK season is really starting to get going. With this in mind we thought we would try and get out for some walks in the Dark Peak before
El Chalten styles itself as the walking capital of Argentina, a title that was just too enticing to resist, so after our epic Torres del Paine trek we headed to this beautiful, mountain ringed town via the very efficient cross-border coach.

Wycoller is an almost achingly idyllic hamlet situated at what is literally the end of the road around four miles from the town of Colne. It consists of a tiny collection of stone cottages,a hatch serving hot bacon butties, pies and pasties and the ruins of the sixteenth century Wycoller Hall, originally owned by the
I have mentioned it already but one of the unexpected bonuses of the Covid 19 crisis has been that it has forced us to look at alternatives to tried and tested favourites. The reality is that if I had a free weekend and the sun was shining and I fancied a walk it’s likely I’d
