Scafell Pike 2

Scafell Pike – The highest mountain in England October 2016 seems like a long time ago, but I do remember that the 11th October was the last time Jen and I headed up England’s highest mountain. Our second visit wasn’t planned a long while in advance, in fact I had only looked at the weather […]

Calders

Calders What better way to start the New Year than by taking a good long walk in a known area of beauty – no maps required? That was what was on the cards for my afternoon on New Year’s Day 2017. Jen was heading out on a run and fair play she was going to […]

Mount Tuven

Mount Tuven (1029m) During June 2016, Jen and I were fortunate enough to be volunteering in Norway. Our host Amy had lived in the country for around 20 years, indeed still does, and we assisted her via a scheme called HelpX. Amy is actually American and, I might add, a fantastic cook! The downside of […]

Loch Lomond

Beinn Dubh – Loch Lomond During the weekend of the 14/15th October 2016 I headed off up North – as in, further North than we already are! – for my first ever fell racing event close to the shores of Loch Lomond… (I can already hear the tittering of those who know me, but it’s […]

Great Gable

Back in December I spent a weekend with a band of ex-military folk in the Lakes. We did a couple of good hikes over two days and covered around 15km on each. Having rendezvoused at the predetermined location we decided, over a few drinks on the Friday evening, where and how we could make the […]

Winder to Cautley Spout

Winder to Cautley Spout Ok, so I find myself no fewer than 10 blogs behind on the hiking front *Urghhh* but it’s Christmas, so I figure I get first dibs on the subject matter for this blog. My choices are far-reaching: Norway – Mount Tuven (1029m) or maybe Mount Snorvillen (995m)… or I could stick […]

A South West Coastal walk

Dawlish to Shaldon coastal path It is coming to that time of year when one reflects back on the previous 12 months, and perhaps for some it’s a time to revisit old haunts. This time last year I was living down in Devon, in a property on a road that made national headlines a few […]

The Old Man of Coniston

Well, it is almost a year since I started walking again in earnest. A year of walking, hiking, wild camping and even a bit of glamping! Jen and I completed some tremendous hikes in Iceland and the Faroe Islands, plus one or two outings in Norway. My personal favourite was definitely the three-day Landmannalaugar to […]
