We like walking. Not just long distance walks, not always holidays abroad.Here are a few photo galleries from our other walks ...
As we both work for the Environment Agency, in 2005 we took part in the annual Munro Challenge organised by our adopted charity, Water Aid.The challenge was to raise as much sponsorship as possible, by getting a team on top of every Munro in the UK between noon and two o'clock on Saturday the 11th June.Our alloted peak was An Caisteal (995m) which was relatively easy.Good news is that the Munro Challenge was completed in style - the first time the feat had been completed, despite several previous attempts. HOORAH !!
Arrived in Keswick on Saturday and bought some new boots at George Fischer. Spent the rest of the week breaking them in.Some good walks: Red Screes; Bowfell and Crinkle Crags; a ridge walk along Buttermere; a gentle stroll from Tarn Hows to Coniston and back.
Taking advantage of the break between Covid lockdowns, and our pre-booked accommodation (we had originally intended to walk the Bracken Way), we drove up to the Dales for a week. We completed a circular day walk from each of our overnight stays before driving to the next location.The weather was generally hot and sunny, although on 'the tops' we were often walking in the clouds.
A seven-night stay in a lovely litttle cottage in the Peak District village of Tideswell in April 2023.The location was perfect. We could walk in any direction, directly from the cottage, for fantastic and varied walks in the stunning countryside.The village also had a good collection of pubs, restaurants and shops to ensure we had easy access to all the provisions we needed.The weather was mixed, ranging from sharp downpours to bright sunshine, but much of the time we were blasted by a very cold northerly wind.
A ramble through Wensleydale, Swaledale and Arkengarthdale, in the Yorkshire Dales.Five days point-to-point walking, and three circulr walks in gorgeous Dales scenery. Our route, accommodation and baggage transfer were arranged by a local company, Muddy Boots.
