Ribblehead Circular, a suitable “snowed-up” walk.

By Hugh Stewart March 3, 2015 Leave a Comment

That is, walk 11 in the “walks from the……stations” book. Not high level, you won’t get lost, but it will take longer than 3 hours if the conditions underfoot are bad.
Took 3 and a half hours today.

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.

So on a filthy December day decided to explore it, and do the whole skyline of Borrowdale, to the A6 that is. Adding a little to cross the Borrow Beck on the A6

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,
