Cape Wrath Trail Plans

A friend and I have decided to walk (some of) the Cape Wrath Trail; I would like to do the whole path, but with trips to Japan and Georgia taking up significant amounts of holiday time we've elected to pare down the route and have decided to walk from Strathcarron to Cape Wrath. The genesis … Continue reading Cape Wrath Trail Plans

Snow covered Ingleborough from Little Ingleborough

I'd not been to the Yorkshire Dales National Park for quite some time - I think it will have been August last year - and I was keen to return. I'd planned last week, but it wasn't to be. This last week I have checked the forecasts hoping for fresh dumps of snow (the Dales … Continue reading Snow covered Ingleborough from Little Ingleborough

Hebden Bridge (yep, again) to Sowerby Bridge

I originally intended to get out to the Dales this weekend, but my friend and I were planning on cooking Burns Supper for a few folk and the timings would have not worked for people wanting to eat food before midnight. That's happened before... I thought about a few alternatives, but given the fact we … Continue reading Hebden Bridge (yep, again) to Sowerby Bridge

Wadi Rum, Jordan; May 2014

Last year I went to Jordan to hike and see Petra and to hike in Petra - I'll add that at some later … Continue reading Wadi Rum, Jordan; May 2014

Hebden Bridge to Haworth and back over the Tops

It was with some satisfaction that I spotted a band of wintry weather heading our way towards the end of the week and I planned a familiar walk in the snow to take advantage of what's not the most common of weather types in England. I would just say that you shouldn't blunder out into the snow … Continue reading Hebden Bridge to Haworth and back over the Tops

Guiseley to Ilkley over the Moor

I decided I had better start hiking more regularly after a period with not much walking whilst I was out of the country and making craft beer brewers noticeably richer. I adore hiking, but sometimes a part of me forgets this and I struggle to get out in the morning - particularly when Yorkshire Mire is the … Continue reading Guiseley to Ilkley over the Moor

The Start

I have started this page as a record of my hikes and occasional travels where they will hopefully serve of interest to like minded fellows or perhaps just pass a few moments for someone. I have wanted to do this for some time as I often take photos, conditions permitting, but they then sit in … Continue reading The Start
