Snowdon expedition with West Berkshire training consortium

27-29.8.14   One of the most enjoyable aspects of what we do here at Come walk with me UK is the variety in what we do. One week we might be assisting on a multi-activity week at Condover Hall, another week we are helping a team from a school with behavioural difficulties ascend Scafell Pike

First paid work as a Mountain Leader!

30.6-2.7.14Walking with; More House School    Well, it has finally paid off! This was my first gig as a professionally qualified ML. I picked up the job with Class Adventure at the last minute and headed down to Crickhowell in South Wales for a couple of days walking and working with a group of 55

Peregrine and Puffins at South Stack

22/06/14Walking with; Ruthy   Ever since I completed my ML things have been very busy and I’ve not had much of an opportunity to actually get out into the countryside, slightly ironic. Sunday, it was too nice a day not to get out and do something though and what with it being Puffin season and

A wet wild camp in the Brecon Beacons

7/8.5.14Walking with; Nathan   Although my Granny has lived in the area for over twenty years my experience of walking in this area is pretty limited, although I enjoyed my trip there this time last year https://www.comewalkwithmeuk.co.uk/2013/05/south-wales-wanderings.html.

Scrambling and climbing around Crib Goch

It is an iconic route and with the feel of enough real danger to ensure that completing it produces the kind of buzz more normally associated with

A snowy Snowdonia walk

27.1.14Walking with; Alex My last day out in Snowdonia had come to a relatively swift end when my route along the Foel Gron ridge was interrupted by a lightning flash that seemed to be right on top of me. The weather for this walk in the shadows of the Carneddau was equally unforgiving, if a

A Snowdonian overnighter

19/20.6.13Walking with; Nobody In my recent desire to get to know the Lake District better I have somewhat neglected Snowdonia but after a cracking two days in North Wales I am anxious to rectify this once more. The hostels in Snowdon were busy but I eventually found a bed at the Pen-Y-Pass YHA http://www.yha.org.uk/hostel/pen-y-pass  and so

South Wales wanderings

7/8.5.13Walking with; Ruthy Some of my earliest walking memories are of family outings to the Brecon Beacons where my Grandparents lived (and Grandmother still does). The names are evocative to me; The Sugar Loaf, The Table Mountain, The Blorenge and in my mind they have grown into epic mountain days, and so it was, that

A question

Has anyone walked any of the Welsh Coastal Path? If so, do they have any reflections/hints/tips on it? Ditto, the Offa’s Dyke Path? Any information would be very much appreciated. Cheers
