From Matsumoto Castle to Station
This is short trip I made around that part of Matsumoto near to the castle.
I started from the main gate and followed quiet streets finding little temples and shrines on my way. I discovered the Iori Reisui well, which is a famous natural spring in the city. It must…

Nagano - Togakushi Shrines
On this hike I visited four of the shrines in the Togakushi area, though two are actually adjacent.
I reached Togakushi with the Alpine Express bus, which leaves Nagano station at bus stop 7: this is on the other side of the road from the station. I bought a reserved…

Nikko - Shrines, Temples and a Waterfall
This is a circular tour designed to view the major temples and shrines in Nikko and to include the Shiraito Falls, without any backtracking. I started it by the famous Shinkyo Bridge. Once it was free to cross, but now there is a fee, but no charge for photographing it.…

Kirifuri Falls
This is a very short hike from bus stop #97 Kirifuri no Taki to the viewing platform for the falls.
I am posting it so that travellers can be reassured that if they get a bus out to the falls, there is ample time to walk there and back, take…

Tokyo - Shinjuku to Shibuya
This is a linear hike from Shinjuku to Shibuya. I had a number of sites that I wanted to see, but I was not successful in seeing them all.
I started recording outside the Tokyo Metropolitan Government building that I had just visited to see Tokyo spread out before me…

Tokyo - Asakusa
This is a linear tour from Asakusa to Ueno.
I started with a pleasant stroll by the Sumida river. From the river banks you can see the Skytree and the Asahi Beer Tower (Golden Poop). I made a brief diversion to the Tobu Station and then continued walking in Sumida…

Hike to Cleckheaton from Bierley via Hunsworth and East Bierley
What a lot of stiles there were on this hike from Bierley to Cleckheaton! I counted fourteen, and, there was also a fence to climb.
I started the tour with about a mile of pavement pounding. It was at the junction of Toftshaw New Road and Toftshaw Lane that the…

Holmfirth and Around
Holmfirth in Kirklees reminds me somewhat of Hebden Bridge in Calderdale, though with less charm and no canal. That absence of canal didn’t stop the town getting badly flooded in 1944. Both have cobbled streets that have a peculiar fascination for me – their almost vertical nature poses a challenge…

Goathland Circular
This is a circular tour around Goathland. I had intended it to be a figure of eight tour, but missed the path.
I parked in a small parking bay on the road to Goathland that leads from the A169 just before the NYMR bridge over the road. There is room…

Denby Dale Viaduct
I had to curtail my planned circular tour in order to catch the bus from Denby Dale back to Wakefield. I thought I could manage the four miles I had planned in 1 hour 50 minutes, but I found that I was only managing to travel at just over 2…

Hike from Thorner via Scarcroft Hill, Pompocali and Wothersome Lake
This is a circular tour based on Thorner and a large part of it follows the Leeds Country Way. I started and finished on Main Street, using the #7 bus to get there.
Where the Carr Lane turns left, I took the footpath on the right. This path runs down…

Bingley Five Rise Locks
This is a circular tour based on Bingley; I started outside All Saints Church and finished outside Lidl.
I began the tour by visiting the church and was disappointed to find little of interest in the interior for me, even though it has a wealth of history, with the present…

Miles without Stiles (for some) - Rievaulx Loop
I found this hike on the North York Moors website. It was shorter than I would do, but there appeared to be an audio trail to accompany the hike. However, I found the audio file was not relevant to the hike.
The route is very straightforward to navigate and is…

Hike along Kirklees Way via Hanging Heaton
It was all going so well. I had got off the #201 Arriva bus from Wakefield only one stop after the one I intended. Yes. There is a bus stop right at the start of the route, called Howley Mill Lane/Scotchman Lane. I had walked under the railway bridge and…
