4/5.12.13Walking with; Nobody I’d only been in Grasmere a couple of weeks earlier, but the great deals the YHA are currently offering on accommodation meant I could get a room to myself for roughly the price of a dorm bed.

28.11.13Walking with; Nobody Bleaklow can be an intimidating hill, a vast expanse of peat, groughs, bogs and moorland often enveloped in low cloud, it’s the kind of place where an overactive imagination could conjure up all manner of ghostly encounters. There are rumoured to be spirits of Roman legionnaires haunting the Pennine Way and the
23/24.11.13Walking with; Rob I only ever seem to visit Borrowdale in the cold. Last year I had one of my best, if snowiest walks, there https://www.comewalkwithmeuk.co.uk/2012/12/borrowdaleand-snow.html and when I arrived this weekend, full of fish and chips from “The Old Keswickian” I could see a dusting of snow across some of the higher tops.

Well, I was hoping to get out for a walk today, but I am feeling a bit under the weather, and I am off to Cuba on Thursday and there is plenty of packing to be done. Not sure if there’ll be much walking on the island of Castro and Che, think it might be
10 and 16.10.13Walking with; Nobody Well after the highs and lows and mizzle and drizzle of Galloway I decided a couple of gentler routes with some more micro-nav thrown in was just what the Doctor ordered. The Snake Path runs out of Hayfield and was created in 1897 by the newly formed Peak and Northern
6-8.10.13Walking with; Nathan When I find myself writing that my previous walking experience in Scotland was limited to a family holiday 25 years ago and a straight up and down “Three Peaks” experience on Ben Nevis I feel slightly ashamed and a bit of a fraud. It’s like those Aussies who claim to have “done”
