Fforest Fawr: Fan Llia 2,073' / 632m A remote walk in an unfrequented area, snatched between fronts of very heavy rain (although we still got very wet). Apart from two military guys on a "jolly" we saw nobody else all day. We set out from the Blaen Llia Forestry Commision car park signed ...

Ffoerest Fawr: Fan Fawr 734m / 2,408' A pleasant circular walk, snatched between weather fronts during a period of exceptionally heavy rain which had left much of the ground saturated. We set off from a small lay by/parking area just south of Brecon Reservoir and then, after briefly walking south, ...

Latrigg Fell Not the walk we'd originally intended to do today! We'd originally set out from Watendlath with the intention of going up Ullscarf by means of the Wythburn path up (towards High Tove) and then taking the track that follows the ridge to Blea Tarn and Standing Crag. It's fairly rough goi...

Raven Crag Thirlmere This was a very pleasant walk. I parked up well short of Thirlmere Dam and then walked up to, and across, it. The water levels were very low. These days route finding is very straightforward with an excellent set of steps up through the woods (little danger of straying too clos...

Stone Arthur 1652’ A very straightforward ascent on a lovely, warm autumn day. Steep, but steps or a very clear path pretty much all the way up. A couple of judicious, but unobtrusive, signs and waymarks made navigation extremely straightforward. Still rather stiff and sore from yesterdays fall and...

Lake District Central Fells: High Tove, Armboth Fell and High Seat This turned out to be a far better walk than anticipated. The walk up to High Tove and on to Armboth Fell was much as expected, except that much work has been done on the zigzag path up from Watenlath, and there are good steps most ...

Easedale Tarn and Tarn Crag 1801' A delight! I set off very early and made the decision to go up via Sour Milk Gill to Easedale Tarn. I can understand why Wainwright, and others, recommend going up the east ridge, it provided an excellent walk coming down and I found it easy to make my way from it ...

[b]2023.09.03 Great Crag 1,500'; Ullscarf[ 2370'/b] Went up from Watendlath Tarn. There is a good path from the farm up to Dock Tarn and shortly before the tarn it is possible to strike up to the top of Great Crag. The ridge can then be followed over a subsidiary summit before dropping down to the t...

Silver How 1292’ Another excellent short days’ walk. Went up the Easedale Road, turned off by the Goody Bridge Cottages and then, after crossing the stepping stones picked up the cart track to Score Crag, turning off by the farm. The walk was extremely pleasant, although I could have shortened my w...

Lake District Northern Fells: Binsey From Binsey Lodge it's a very short, easy and pleasant enough walk that you could probably take your grand mother up (Well, I managed it easy enough as a great-granddad in his 70's!) Some good views from the summit. There's adequate parking for three or four veh...

A very good short day's walk*, suitable for all seasons, although the footpaths can get muddy during the winter months. It is also excellent for wildlife. With rail stations at both ends, Brandon and Thetford, it is well sign posted between the two and marked on the O/S Explorer 229 map [1:25000]. I...

P.S. Back on Skye again in August 2020. Still didn't see a damn thing! As soon as we got into the hills, down came the clag again!
Same thing happened again in July 2021

Just for the record, I did get round to doing another trip, and re-attempting the ridge with other companions, one of whom knew the ridge extremely well. Despite the time of year (July again!) the weather was again foul, but, over the course of five days,we did climb all the Munros and tops on the m...

Loughrigg Fell A very pleasant short walk on good paths, with fine views undertaken in excellent weather conditions. Busy, because there were two mountain races going on at the time (hence the arrows on the trig point) but it's a lovely fell, and one that I hadn't climbed before. $matches[2] Loughr...

Castle Crag, Borrowdale Having just completed a six hour drive to get to the Lake District, this made for an excellent afternoon's walk from our base in Keswick. Wainwright reckoned that it sits in the "loveliest sqare mile in Lakeland". It's hard to disagree. Wainwright describes two asc...
