Nenthead Nuttalls 2: Dead Stones and Flinty Fell.

By Hugh Stewart July 27, 2020 Leave a Comment

Continuing the dialling down from big Nuttall walks like 5 of them on the Burnhope Reservoir round, this takes the northern most of that round, Dead Stones, and adds Flinty Fell, to make an easy 7.9 mile round with some interest. That comes right at the start as, starting from the car park in

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.

UK £13.95 ( inc. P&P)

Ward’s Stone, an addition to a Bowland circuit from Littledale.

So this addition to the jaunt of a week ago makes a ten mile circuit with 1700 ft plus of ascent, with better long distance views. Start as for the previous walk, but at the Duke's track carry on across it on an obvious path, and then left at a "T" junction at the ridge top. Grit Fell has a large

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,
