    Another great hike from Ambleside called the Fairfield Horseshoe Harder than we remembered with large and high rocks on the way up and with a bit of pulling and shoving to be expected!

    A beautiful day so it had to be the Langdale Pikes Some of the highest fells surround this area The approach to Stickler tarn welcomed us with steps and easy to follow up the side of the river With so much erosion in The Lakes, steps are laid in popular walks and boggy areas A fair amount of...

    Hi loving kindness Yes we always have the pertinent map and the compass although as we’ve done this walk before and the weather was great, we didn't need to use either In mist though they are always on the go! In our earlier years when we walked in hail, rain and snow, the map was always out...

    Another walk on or near the South Downs Wide open spaces and sheep, lambs and a pheasant on the way Wilmington Priory and nearby church with the oldest yew tree in England believed to be around 1,600 years It’s now supported with long timbers…I suppose at that age, it’s entitled to have a...

    Walking with headphones?

    Don’t feel sad for me VN I’d be sad without my music, the more beats, the better Perhaps it’s not “money makes the world go round” Its music makes the world go round …for many of us anyway Also any long distance walk, including the Camino can be boring at times, pilgrimage or not. Why a...

    Rough In Planning Support

    Construction on the pipeline near the Puerto de Pajares

    Agree with you here The narrow path from the Parador even had a notice saying “dangerous” so that was a no no for us The path behind the bar sounded like a real slog so that left the highway We sat at the then open bar for quite a while to assess the level of traffic passing…it was almost...
