Hollinthorpe to Halton
This is more of a walk than a hike.
I got the #22 bus to Hollinthorpe Farm on Swillington Lane and followed the Public Bridleway to the grounds of Temple Newsam.
A few yards walking in woodland brought me to The Avenue where I had a fine view of Temple…

Thwaites to Cottingley
When I plan and execute a linear tour, I make my start part farthest away from where I have begun my journey, e.g. Leeds, so that I hike back, in this case, towards Leeds. Today, that planning meant the start of the hike presented me with a hill to climb…

Hike on the Harrogate Ringway from Harrogate to Pannal via Duchy and Burn Bridge
This is a linear tour between Harrogate and Pannal, using the Harrogate Ringway. I started the tour near the bus and train stations in Harrogate on Cambridge Street. I crossed Parliament Street by a branch of the famous Betty’s Tearooms and walked down to the Pump Room on Royal Parade,…

Hike on the Leeds Country Way from Woodlesford via Royds Green
Many, many years ago and over a number of weeks I completed the Leeds Country Way. This was long before the days of reliable SatNav so I found it extremely difficult to navigate the route just using written instructions and a very small map. I remember many stretches being boring…

Brasov
This is a circular tour of Brasov - I have tried to cover all the most important places, but I didn't do much in the Schei Quarter, and certainly didn't see the synagogue. I started and finished.more or less at Republic Square.
From my starting point I made my way…

Sighisoara
I started the tour from near the Orthodox Cathedral, which is worth visiting and ended it near Lidl.
I climbed up into the old town from Strada Morii using the steps and one of the first tourist sites that greeted me was the Shoemaker’s Tower; that is just one of…

View of Turda Gorge – Cheile Turzii loop from Petreștii de Jos
This is a circular tour.
One of its many difficulties is just finding where to start it, if you're Romanian, then it's no problem. I had a Romanian postcode, but that didn't take me to the starting point. On the 107L road take the dirt track signposted Cheile Turzii. That…

From Lacu Roșu to Lacu Roșu
This is a sort of circular tour of the Red Lake in Romania, though when I started it looked decidedly grey.
The start is marked clearly by a signpost and is off a car park by a couple of hotels.
To begin, it's mainly in woods. After a while, there…

Vf Suhardul Mic
This is an out-and-back tour climbing up Suhardul Mic for views of the Red Lake and the surrounding countryside.

Bucharest
This is a circular tour of Bucharest, that I started from my hotel CH Bucharest.
I did some of the tour yesterday afternoon, which included the Patriarchal cathedral, so I have omitted it from today's tour.
Bucharest is a large city with its sights spread out over a large distance.…

Stoned on Midgley Moor
The last time I was on Midgley Moor I couldn’t get Joan to talk to me no matter how hard I tried, so I suppose I wasn’t surprised when she said nothing again this time, since seven long years have elapsed and although I am older, I seem to be…

Hike from Horbury Bridge via Netherton
This is a more or less circular tour; I reached Horbury Bridge from Wakefield on the Arriva #231 bus service.
I walked under Horbury Viaduct and then turned left along Water Lane. I took a left fork where the road bent round to the right and soon I was walking…
