Trail shoes by
Syke[_2_]
I have a pair of Trezeta trail shoes (NEWTRAIL) which are now past it
but have given very good service, but like many things today,
replacement is not so simple. Several articles I have read recently
suggest that brands which in the past, like these, have been made in
Italy, are now being made...

Garmin GPS 12 by
Rooney
Anyone want one? I haven't used it for years - no need, with
smartphones these days. But it may be useful for someone who doesn't
have a smartphone.
It's in perfect working order but probably needs a software update (for
which you'd need to get a cable to connect it to your computer).

Rough formula for walk 'difficulty' by
Terry Pinnell[_2_]
I'm planning next summer's walk with my wife of the SW Coastal path,
from Westward Ho! to Trevenoe. I'm in the course of making estimates
of mileage and gross ascent and descent (ft), both based on my fairly
careful plotting of the path and using Google Earth's elevation
profile. Average mileage...

Using GPS instead of maps by
Nick Maclaren[_4_]
Does anyone have experience of wide-area touring and navigation using a
GPS device? I have an Etrex 20 and an OpenStreetMap mapping
(talkytoaster), as an experiment, and found it hopelessly painful to
use, mainly because of lack of resolution and secondarily lack of oomph
(especially noticeable...

Alport Castles by

Went over to Fairholmes and Ladybower on Sunday - what a day. 1st November
and one of the best days of the year. Managed to get my lad over to Alport
Castles on the chance that we might see a peregrine falcon. Probably the
wrong time of year but what a view we had...

On my last legs or what? by

I have not been in the best of health over the last two years and for a

anything that involved physical exertion. Having been totally inactive
since June 2014 I was in pretty poor shape by spring this year and it
was late May...

Biting insects by
Nick Maclaren[_3_]
In the Highlands, something bites my shins, less so my thighs and rarely
higher up, through thick socks. It is NOT ticks or midges, but I have
never found out what it is. Any ideas?

Weird peat by
Nick Maclaren[_3_]
Normally, I am quite happy to camp on soggy ground in the Highlands,
and find that the peat exudes water but is otherwise clean. However,
for the first time, I encountered some that squidged into something the
colour and texture of semi-liquid cow dung, and much the same smell.
It was NOT deer...

We'll definitely be doing the Keld-Muker walk,
Swaledale is nice but the most impressive Keld-Reeth routh is along
Wainwright’s Coast to Coast through the lead mines (Swinner Gill,

Is there anywhere that I may not know about?
