Walks in England

Walks in Scotland Walks in Wales It's all my own work

My most recent walks in England but not the Lake District

Saturday 21st and Sunday 22nd June 2008, a weekend in Northumberland made a change for me; walking with 40sWalkersNorth we managed to find the only island of good weather in the northern half of Britain. On Saturday we walked part of St Cuthberts Way from Wooler to Fenwick, it was a surprise to find a large cave named after St Cuthbert in the middle of the green rolling countryside. Light rain accompanied us on the final hour to Fenwick and it poured down overnight, but Sunday morning was bright and breezy. We walked across the fields and through a gauntlet of large concrete blocks, a wartime attempt to prevent amphibious landings, to the start of the Lindisfarne Causeway. We had planned to walk along the Pilgrims Path, marked by a line of high wooden posts, but it still looked quite wet; eventually we just went for it, mainly barefoot, but one well-prepared individual brought her wellies. After a quick walk across the island to the castle, and a short visit to a local pub we had a hurried walk back across the sand before the tide came back in. Look at the photos around Holy Island

Saturday 11th October 2003, my first meeting for a while with members of Outdoorsmagic. In the Peak District starting from the village of Edale we walked almost the full circumference of the edge of Kinder Scout. The weather is still good, sunny to start with a little bit of drizzle in the afternoon but dry again 15 miles and seven and three quarters of an later when we got back to the Nags Head. Read about it and look at the photos or just look at the photos around Kinder Scout

Saturday 22nd March 2003, Brilliant weather again as I venture outside the Lake District, this time to North Yorkshire with Mixed Routes, based at the Station Inn, Ribblehead near Ingleton. Day one was a figure of eight route, firstly Ingleborough and then Whernside, day two completed the three peaks of Yorkshire with a walk to Pen-y-gent. Read about it and look at the photos

Saturday 19th October 2002, another meeting with members of Outdoorsmagic, this time in the Peak District on a cold but brilliantly sunny day. Starting from the village of Edale we walked the Mam Tor ridge, back at Edale it was too early to go home so I took in Kinder Scout whilst the weather and visibility were still good. Read about it and look at the photos

Stonehenge is a very special place, and the surrounding countryside seems to be full of henges and white horses and other ancient places.
