....still here? Actually got onto Striding Edge this year! Seasons Greetings to All. Graham

I attended the Great Welsh Beer and Cider Festival on Saturday where I got a good number of ticks, 9 of which were new breweries. I also got a few ticks in some of the city centre pubs. At the festival I got talking to Simon Buckley of Evan Evans and ended up having a long chat with him about the...

I've been poring over the map of Scotland, but no sooner to I begin to develop an idea of where I might like to walk than I forget where it was, because I can't begin to pronounce about 95% of the place names. Is it all a malignant plot to keep nesh Southerners out? How on earth does anyone ever...

Hi everyone! Which park is your favorite for a walk in the early morning in London? For my part, I love the park that's near the Queen Mary University of London (also because I live in that neighbourhood :)

Hello, is there anyone still here or should I turn out the lights? I thought I would start the ball rolling by wishing all my friends and acquaintances from the glory days of ukrw a merry Yuletide and a prosperous New Year. And if there is no one here its surely time to put this ng out of its...

I want some woollen trousers, not actually for walking, but for something similar. The trouble is that (for practical reasons) I need them washable - inter alia, non-washable trousers are not suitable for outdoor activities, because they will get soaked and mud will be embedded in them. My...

If anyone's still around on this newsgroup, perhaps they can offer some advice? I'm thinking of doing the Fisherfield Five (or Six) next week and am planning to take three days over it, wild camping two nights. A few years ago I'd have probably done it as a long day from Shenavall Bothy, but...

Looks round one last time thinking happy thoughts of friends well met and hills walked together. Turns off light and thinks, "coo innit dark in here." -- Phil Cook

Hi. I'm off on a walking/cycling holiday in Aviemore towards the end of June, and am in the process of looking at full day walks which may be borderline feasible, and explore areas that are inaccessible without a lot of effort. A thought flashed through my mind about the Minigaig. There is an...

If nobody answers this then I'll turn off the lights. I see there have been various recent bits of spam and an attempted troll by Angus, but very little else. Seasons Greetings to anyone lurking, I hope you manage a decent walk over Christmas. Graham

Just been up to Whinlatter (had a soggy, misty introduction to the NW Fells bagging Grizedale Pike and Hopegill Head). I was going to park at Hobcarton but the parking and access routes seem to be closed due to forestry work (this may also affect the cyclists C2C). I went into Whinlatter...

It seems to me durability of soles and heels for Shoes and Boots these days just gets less and less. A while ago when the Woolworths shops were in business I could get rubber corners to stick on to the heels, which preserved the life span considerably. I have recently bought a rubbery glue...
