 | Cunswick Fell  on 31 Jul 2011
As we only had time today for a short walk, we decided to pay a vbisit to Cunswick Fell. Although I have visited Scout Scar and few times, this was my first visit to Cunswick Fell. It was a delightful wander across some wonderful... |  | Scout Scar, Westfield Nature Trail and Gummers How on 13 Aug 2010
This was my first trip to the Lake District since I injured my knee. These gentle walks not only eased me back into walking but also helped to give me a little more confidence in my knee. On the Friday afternoon, I explored Scout Scar and on Saturday... |  | Downham and Bolton Abbey on 3 Aug 2010
Today I visited Downham and the Bolton Abbey Estate with Jeanette and Julie. We were going to try to walk up Pendle Hill, but when we arrived at Barley, Pendle Hill was swathed with thick menacing cloud and we opted for a low level walk instead. ... |  | Enjoying the snow near Blackstone Edge on 3 Jan 2010
The big freeze continues and so we decided to make the most of the fine weather and have a snowy walk on some of the local moors. In the morning we went to the moors near the Ripponden TV transmitter and in the afternoon we walked around Blackstone... |  | Holme Fell in the Snow on 28 Dec 2009
This was going to be my last Lake District fell walk for 2009. We left Barrow at approx 7:30am hoping to catch a glimpse of the sunrise. Unfortunately we didn't get a good sunrise, but we did catch the morning inversion in the Crake valley.... |  | Beacon Fell on 30 Mar 2009
On the final day of a glorious long weekend in Cumbria, Steve and I decided to have a short walk. We parked at the Brown Howe picnic site and had a leisurely stroll up Beacon Fell and then down to Beacon Tarn.The walk took up approx 3 hours, allowing... |  | Binsey on 7 May 2011
My second walk of the weekend was to Binsey, a small hill that stands on its own in the extreme north-west of the Lake District. We deliberately didn't plan a long walk, as we hoped to avoid the worst of the rain that had been forecast... |  | Lyme Park - In search of Mr Darcy with Julie and Jeanette on 22 Mar 2011
I had arranged to meet Julie and Jeanette for a walk around Lyme Park and today the weather was good for a change. Our previous walks had not been graced with good weather and therefore we decided to take advantage of the summery condtions... |  | Turton and Entwistle Reservoir on 12 Mar 2011
I had decided that I would have a short walk today before driving over to see my parents. Today's walk was even shorter than I planned as the weather deteriorated and constant rain set in. In the end I only walked around Turton and Entwistle... |  | Lyme Park on 9 Jan 2010
Today I decided to visit Lyme Park. I haven’t been here since I was a child and as I didn’t want to travel too far from a main road Lyme Park was an ideal location. This was a beautiful setting for a short walk. The grounds... |  | Cows, Calves and Apostles on Ilkley Moor on 6 Dec 2009
We had agreed to venture into Yorkshire again and had arranged to meet up with Dave and Josie at the Cow and Calf. The weather was mixed and included an extremely heavy shower. The sunny intervals brought out the colour in moor and really brighten... |  | Hog Lowe Pike on 14 Aug 2009
With a week off work I took advantage of a reasonable forecast and decided to explore the upper reaches of Calf Hey Reservoir and the western end of Musbury Heights. I drive past here whenever I go to the Lake District via the motorway and have... |  | Ogden and Piethorne Reservoirs on 2 Jun 2009
We took advantage of the weather and enjoyed a walk around some local reservoirs in the warm, balmy air of a glorious summer evening. Part of our route followed a section of the Rochdale Way and as the sunset photos show, our route took us fairly... |  | Farleton Fell on 3 May 2009
Farleton Fell is the large limestone scar that can be clearly seen just to the east of the M6 between junctions 35 and 36. I have driven past it many times and said "I really must go up there". Today I stopped off here instead of driving straight... |  | Levens Deer Park on 1 May 2009
A wet Friday and no desire to get soaked on the fells, gave us the perfect excuse to visit the Levens Deer Park. At least here we knew we were guarenteed to see some wild life.The time taken was 1.5 hours, enough time to test the waterproofs... |  | A Holme Valley Meander on 15 Aug 2009
Today’s walk started out as a trip to Holmfirth, the home of the Last of the Summer Wine. After lunch the weather improved so we decided to explore the area around the Ramsden and Yatesholme Reservoirs just off the A6024 road between... |
