Cumbria Way Day 1

Ulverston to Coniston – 17.75 miles through rolling countryside and probably more than expected. Weather was warm if a bit overcast for 3/4 of the walk with the last 1/4 very wet until we reached the Yewdale Inn, our stop for the night. https://explore.osmaps.com/route/21430207/Cumbria-Way-Day-1-Ulverston-to-Coniston

The Lakes with Ken – March 2024

I was lucky to win a competition through The North Face that gave me a mountain trail running experience with Josh Wade, one of their Ambassadors in the Lakes. The run was excellent even if it did break both of us just a bit.. Following the run Ken and I had decided to do aContinue reading “The Lakes with Ken – March 2024”

Rhinog Faw and Rhinog Fach

In June 2023 I visited the Rhinogs with John and Martin following a ‘Route of a Lifetime’ suggestion by Trail Magazine. https://explore.osmaps.com/route/10379267/trail-magazine-walks-of-a-lifetime-the-rhinogs-snowdonia It’s only a small car parking area but it is quite remote and so we didn’t have any issue parking. Bit late writing this trip up but I do remember it was hotContinue reading “Rhinog Faw and Rhinog Fach”

A bit of the Welsh Coast Path

Walking IOW day 2

Day 2 was from the Boat House Inn where we stayed overnight to Cowes for night 2. Once we left Ryde we didn’t see the sea again until East Cowes so not much of a coastal route today. https://explore.osmaps.com/route/12368219/activity8796073844 It was a day of two halves from a route perspective with the first five milesContinue reading “Walking IOW day 2”
