South Snowdonia Day 3 - Barmouth to Tal-Y-Bont
This was a short day as we did not want to go back on a later train. The initial climb from Barmouth is steep but not at all technical, the rest of the path is very pretty as it opens the sea to your left hand side and the south…

South Snowdonia Day 2 - From Bryncrug to Barmouth
A long day with fairly varied terrain. Not a lot of it was technical in its nature but it sure as hell was very beautiful. The climb up to Pared Y Cefn-Hir towards the very end did require a bit of care and could, at a stretch, be called a…

South Snowdonia Day 1 - Machynlleth to Bryncrug
Beautiful views and technically easy paths. The only mild complication was the downhill from Tarren Hendre which is about 35ish%.
The problem with the path was at the end however as the path between Dolgoch and Brynglas is marked as a public footpath when it is actually just private land…

Stage 12: Alcester to Stratford-upon-Avon — Monarch's Way
A pretty relaxed walk across the fields and rolling hills. Not the most exciting but we did want to tick off this stage of Monarchs's way for a while now

Hike from Ruabon to Llangollen
Casual pace, nursing a somewhat injured heel.
I've been to the area a few times but generally avoided crossing Ruabon Mountain part as it always looked... Rather boring. And I now it's confirmed, that part is indeed rather boring.
Still we came out onto Craig Arthur and Craig yr Adair…

From Hagley to Stourbridge via Clent and Walton hills
Nice Sunday morning out. Got out early before it got warmer and tried to keep a fast pace across the route. Quite happy with the results

Ledbury to Malvern over the hills
A personal best pace over the hills. A good day with perfect weather (which is to say overcast and no wind) for it.

From Cleobury Mortimer to Angel Bank
A nice day out, despite the weather! We started a bit late so didn't quite have the time to go all the way to Ludlow but all in all a very nice outing.
Paths are pretty simple throughout and no technical terrain there.

Stourport-on-Severn to Abberley Loop
Lovely route and also very varied. Had a bit of everything this time around. Including some wonderful and quiet woods, a nettle infested hill and the absolutely gorgeous Witley Court.
A great long walk especially if the weather is on your side.

The final day which we kept nice and simple as we essentially skirted Ullswater till we got to Pooley Bridge.
Paths in decent condition and very few (if any) technical sections.

2026 Lakes Day 5 - Loop near Glenridding
A bit of a rest day as we were finally able to unloand the backpacks a little bit and there was much less of a plan for day 5. We did a lovely loop via Place Fell and High Dodd which opened some gorgeous views over Ullswater.
The weather was…

2026 Lakes Day 4 - Grasmere to Glenridding via Helvellyn
Day 4 started in Grasmere with Glenridding as a destination.
We kept our options open and had a few ways planned. In the end though we decided to go via Helvellyn and to go down via Swirral edge as we have done Striding edge in our previous trip.
Great weather…

2026 Lakes Day 3 - From Wasdale to Grasmere via Scafell Pike
On day 3 we Ascended up Scafell Pike via the simpler route (Hollow Stones route).
There's quite a few options to get up that one but given that this was already day 3 we didn't want to do anything too challenging.
It was quite simple technically as we both expected…
