Looks a bit sore , but it's the case of the older you get the more foot injuries , how's the saying go ...Time wounds all heels

Hi basscadet ,
Really enjoyed your report , brings back lots of great memories. If or when you go again try the Cirerone guide books Walking in Mallorca or the Gr221 . Have used them myself and not had any problems on the GR221 and elsewhere in Mallorca.. Loved your pics ..thanks

Sunday 2nd May , rain tipping it down . Sitting here with a coffee with a tad of whiskey thrown in , absolutely no desire or inclination to move out of my warm comfy chair . :clap: So with nothing else to do ( unless the wife knows better :shock: ) , I thought a little reminiscing would be quite in ...

Hi IanEzzi , This doesn't really answer your question , but the wife and me are great fans of alt berg boots . We both wear the Fremington boot which is really comfortable and light , we've walked a number of long distance walks , ( 50 miles to 220 miles or more both home and abroad ) , and I can ho...

Hi Hannah, Whenever we go on long distance walks I always print my maps from the OS Getamap site , WWW. getamap.ordnancesurveyleisure.co.uk ( sub. about £18-00 a year) . By doing that you will only need to print out the map sections you need , it keeps weight and costs down. PS . Keep them in a plas...

Went to Mallorca from the 5th - 18th Oct and the weather was superb , just had two cloudy days ,and on one of those it rained . Mallorca is always a treat to visit , with so many fine walks ( always enjoy the mountains). We did a mumber of strolls/walks , the shortest being about 4km and the longest...

Nowadays I nearly always print off my maps from the OS site Getamap , then just put them in a plastic folder . The beauty is you only print off what you need in either 1: 50000 or 1;25000 , no need to carry bulky maps . Always do it for LDWs , never had a problem , cuts down on cost. Subscription ab...

Hi Ray Well done to both Arlene and yourself on completing the PW - looks like you had good weather for most of your trip. You didn't waffle, but I just managed to read your report in a couple of days less than it took you to walk it :lol: :lol: :lol: You should have paid The Mango Tree in Kirkby S...

DSCF5772.JPG Day 1 Berwick upon Tweed to Kirkby Stephen Set off from Forfar and drove down to Berwick to catch the train to Kirkby Stephen . The reason we went from Berwick to Kirkby Stephen was twofold...Firstly there is no train station at Keld and the bus service is erratic . So the idea was to ...

Don't usually take music with me when walking , just love listening to the wife's dulcet tones ( I think that's what she calls them ). I believe that ....." The hills are alive with the sound of music , with songs they have played for a thousand years"...........hang on , I think I may hav...

Hi Gordie , Really enjoyed your report , memories come flooding back of our walk . Maybe do it the opposite way next time. Only two weeks to go before we walk our next LDW , Keld to Kirk Yetholm , to finish Pennine Way , your pics and report have us looking forward to it . Thanks Gordie. Ray.

I remember while walking the Pennine way and stopping for a coffee with the wife , a group of young lads led by two older guys came up to us , one of the older guys asked us where we were and how many miles had they walked since leaving Edale , I showed them on their map that we were at snake pass a...

Hi Nicki , Been living up in Scotland for best part of 35 years , moved up from west Sussex , just along the road from you. In all that time except for the last four years only used compass plus OS. Maps . I am sure you will be okay , but a GPS does make life easier or should I say lazier . Have a g...

Just would your reports, after a quick search for "Yosemite".. This very route is one i'm planning to do, and looked good in the Lonely Planet Guide. Not quite as good as your's though, the pictures have only made me more detrmined to do this one. :clap: I think I may need a few more item...

Great little hills to walk , I remember walking St Cuthberts Way and seeing them from the top of Wideopen Hill knowing that Melrose was just the other side , Two days later we were on them , that was April 2011 temps of 22c

Plus there are things to see in the woods at night.
Thanks for report.
