Bink Moss from the south. Easy Nuttall.

By Hugh Stewart May 3, 2016 Leave a Comment

A 5 mile lonely moorland walk away from it all. Park by the Hargill Bridge on the B6276 Brough to Middleton-in-Teesdale road, and take the track on its east side. Leave it where it goes down to the Hargill Beck for the path along the north bank, poor to non-existent to start, but after 400m or so, after a marker post pointing away from the Beck, it improves. Several spaced posts indicate the way, plus the first cairn on the map. Go left of the next cairn under the stony bank to pick it up again, and it ends northwards rather indistinctly. At Hagworm Hill follow the fence east, a little squelchy, down and up to the post on Bink Moss. Excellent panorama from here. Head on a south-easterly bearing to the track by Green Grain, which is just at the right of the base of the visible, slightly rising ridge of Cock Lake, and follow it home. A luncheon hut halfway down makes a pleasant resting point.

Mountain Biking Adventures: Multi-day Routes in Northern Britain

Over the last two decades, mountain biking has developed enormously as a “sport”. We greatly admire the technical and athletic capabilities of modern day mountain bikers and recognise that many excellent guides have been written and custom-built trails set up. In this guide we try to reopen a sense of adventure and wilderness to mountain biking, providing multi-day routes with a remoteness, continuity and “arc” missing from many modern guides with their focus on day and half day outings.

Kentmere valley to Longsleddale circular walk.

A low level, remarkably pleasant walk of just under 8 miles and under 1500ft of ascent. There is one parking space just past the turn off to Brunt Knott farm on Hall Lane, which is the dead end road leading northerly from the weir north of Staveley. Get to Brunt Knott Farm by the road or by the

Malham Tarn and More

Actually the title is misleading, but kept as it sounded good; the walk goes round the "moor" north of the Tarn and only back along its north bank, and includes the wonderful boardwalk near the Tarn for a floral treat. It has 7.6 miles of limestone scenery, completely avoiding the crowds around the

The middle Pap of Jura – Bienn an Oir

This route has been written about many times, but as we disagree with the Cicerone guide's recommended route and this was the first eight mile plus mountain walk I'd done in 18 months, we thought it worth a celebratory shout. Why just the middle Pap? Because it's the easiest as you might imagine,
