{tab=By Rating} | Pen Y Ghent from Horton in Ribblesdale  on 6 Jun 2009
Les had come up North from Milton Keynes for the weekend, so depite the weather forecast we set out for Pen Y Ghent. Apart from the strong winds and the rain at the summit we had a glorious day.The walk itself took us about 5 hours to complete as Les and I sauntered... |  | Kinder - The Edge on 15 May 2010
On my many journeys up the Woodlands Valley and over the Snake Pass my eyes have been drawn to the steep prow of Fairbrook Naze and I have often said to myself that I should really explore Fairbrook Naze and Fair Brook. Therefore today we took advantage... |  | Ribblesdale on 2 May 2010
Today we decided to give the high peaks of Ingleborough, Penyghent and Whernside a miss and walk from Horton in Ribblesdale along the Pennine Way up Ribblesdale and then return to Horton via the Ribble Way. It was a glorious walk packed with... |  | Place Fell on 29 Apr 2010
Today’s walk over Place Fell is one that I really should have done ages ago. We had an early start from Barrow and unfortunately by the time we reached the Kirstone Inn, all the fell tops were shrouded with heavy cloud that had reduced the visibility... |  | Whitbarrow on 28 Apr 2010
As I had a couple of days off work, I headed north and met up with with Steve near Witherslack. Today's walk was the first of two walks that I had in this short break in the Lake District. Whitbarrow is a prominent limestone ridge just... |  | Malham and Gordale with Jeanette and Julie on 30 Mar 2010
Today I was joined by Jeanette and Julie. I decided that we would visit Malham, as there is plenty to see there even if the weather is not at its best. This is an ideal setting for an introduction to some of the best of our countryside.The... |  | Froggatt Edge with Angie on 13 Mar 2010
Today I met up with Angie at Grindleford for a supposedly quiet walk along the Edges. However it was the day of the Grindleford Gallop, therefore we made a quick alteration to our route and didn't meet up with the Gallopers until we reached Baslow... |  | Bleaklow in the Snow on 31 Jan 2010
We took advantage of a spell of cold weather to visit the frozen expanse of Bleaklow. It was ideal walking conditions, the bogs were frozen and we could see for miles - just what was needed on Bleaklow. The walk took approx 5 and half hours... |  | Conistone and Grass Wood on 23 Jan 2010
Today Steve had arranged for us to meet up with Dave and Josie at Conistone and explore the Dales Way and Grass Wood areas to the south of Conistone. We walked in a mixture of mist and sunshine.The walk took just under 5 hours and this of course included... |  | Malham and Gordale on 25 Oct 2009
I met up with James at Malham Tarn on a wet and extremely windy Sunday morning. We decided to drive down to Malham and walk to Malham Cove and Gordale. It was definitely not a day for spending any time on high and exposed ground. The walk took just... |  | Angletarn Pikes on 25 Jul 2009
Today we decided to take advantage of the good weather and use the Ullswater Steamer to explore Beda Fell and Angle Tarn Pikes. The weather was glorious, just the right temperature for walking and the scenery was amazing. We... |  | Roaming the Roaches on 18 Jul 2009
Les and Kev joined Steve and me on today's walk along the Roaches to the Hanging Stone and Lud's Church. We had a delightful day exploring the various nooks and crannies along the Roaches. The walk took just over 6 hours but this included... |  | Mellbreak or Ed's 214 on 28 Mar 2009
Today Steve and I joined Anne, Roger, Jo, Paul, John, Liz and Barrie (fellow members of the Online Fellwalking Club) and accompanied Ed and Sue on his ascent of Mellbreak. This was Ed's final Wainwright.Today's walk was taken at a gentle... |  | Crummack Dale on 21 Mar 2009

This walk starts from the White House on the A58 between Littleborough and Ripponden. Before the M62 was built, the A58 was one of the main crossing points in the South Pennines and is often closed during bad winters.It was a glorious... |  | Higger Tor on 27 Feb 2010
Today Steve and I were joined by Simon. It was supposed to be a simple walk to Stanage Edge and back via Higger Tor and Carl Wark. Poor visibility and a bad snow storm helped us to change our minds and have a there and back walk instead. Thanks to Simon... |  | Harter Fell in Teesdale on 16 Feb 2010
This was our third walk in the Teesdale area. We planned to follow the Pennine Way to Grassholme Reservoir and then return to Middleton via the footpath along the old Tees Valley Railway. Although the weather was fine at the start of the walk,... |  | Pennine Bridleway to Summit on 8 Jan 2010
Although it had snowed overnight and was still very cold, we hadn’t had the extremely low temperatures that had been forecast and therefore the paths weren’t frozen. Once I reached Watergrove, I decided that I would walk around the reservoir... |  | High Pike and Carrock Fell (again) on 13 Sep 2009
As it it had been my birthday earlier in the week, we had arranged to meet up with Les and Kev on the Friday for a long weekend at Caldbeck as a birthday treat. This is the last of three walks in the Back 'o' Skidda area. It was an excellent... |  | An August Bank Holiday Stroll to Lad Law on 22 Aug 2009
The starting point of today’s walk is the small country park of Wycoller. Wycoller is a small hamlet a few miles south-east of Colne. Despite living very near to Wycoller neither Dave nor Richard had visited Lad Law before, so along with... |  | Wycoller and Boulsworth Hill (Lad Law) on 12 Apr 2009
With the promise of another day of good weather, I headed for the quiet hamlet of Wycoller a few miles south east of the Lancashire mill town of Colne. The hamlet has many archaeological remains including a pack horse bridge and an ancient clam... |  | Harridge Pike and Wild Bank on 11 Apr 2009
It was a Bank Holiday weekend and the weather was set to be excellent. I decided to avoid the usual walking honey pots and settled for a walk that would explore a section of the South Pennine Moors on the edge of the Peak District. Harridge... |
