About :
Hi. I am a walker, climber, mountaineer and cyclist. I was introduced to the hills of the Lake District and to fell walking by my Aunt and Uncle who were both National Park Wardens. Because of this the Lake District is like a home from home and it is a place that I love to explore and share with others. I am based in the NE of England so also take time out in the Durham Dales, The North Yorkshire Moors, The Cheviots and the Yorkshire Dales. I have walked and climbed in both Scotland and Wales as well as further afield in the alps.
I attempt to post walks, from a variety of areas, that are interesting and worth doing; some are easy and some quite challenging but all will be worthwhile for their scenery and or historical interest.

109 routes:Dunstanburgh Castle from Craster
Departure from Craster (Northumberland)
A very short and easy amble along the shoreline to the dramatic Dunstanburgh Castle. For these reasons it is very popular.
Aiguille des Calvaires and Combe de Borderan
Departure from La Clusaz (74 - Haute-Savoie)
A great pointy summit with a cross on top and good views followed by a descent of Borderan Combe. This could easily be done in reverse and/or without the use of the cable cars.
Col des Annes to the Refuge Gramusset and back via Col de Borne Ronde
Departure from Le Grand-Bornand (74 - Haute-Savoie)
A circular walk to the Gramusset Refuge through great limestone scenery.
Summit of Orsiere from la Gutary. A circular walk
Departure from Manigod (74 - Haute-Savoie)
This circular walk will take you through the steep-sided wooded valley beneath the Aiguille de Manigod. It then brings you up into pastures before making the steep ascent to Sur le Freu and the more gentle ascent to the top of Orsiere via la Riondaz. The descent takes you back through pastures before heading back down through the forest to the start. Great views towards Manigod and the mountains behind Annecy, Mont Charvin.
Lac de Tardevant and the summit of L'Ambrevetta and Tardevant
Departure from La Clusaz (74 - Haute-Savoie)
A great walk for the family. You can choose between going to the lake and back or going right up to the top. The latter is easier than it looks and is actually less steep than the ascent to the lake.You will be rewarded with magnificent views.
Hall Dunnerdale to Dow Crag and the Old Man back via Seathwaite Tarn
Departure from Dunnerdale-with-Seathwaite (Westmorland and Furness)
A long and interesting walk from Hall Dunnerdale which could also be started from other places nearby. You will take in some lovely rolling countryside followed by a gradual ascent up a picturesque valley before making the climb up to Brown Pike. From here you are on the high Lakeland fells and take in numerous tops including the Old Man of Coniston. You descend carefully to Seathwaite Tarn and then back to Seathwaite where the Newfield Inn will welcome you with great beer and food.
Trou de la Mouche
Departure from La Clusaz (74 - Haute-Savoie)
A steep walk to a natural rock arch, the Trou de la Mouche (Fly Hole). The section up to the Trou is steep and loose in places, the initial descent is also steep but soon eases off. This route, although shown on IGN maps, is not marked with paint flashes. Signposts at the start of the route make this clear so make sure you have a map and compass.
The walk is best done in the direction described, and best done a clear, dry day.
Ingleby Incline and Battersby Moor
Departure from Kildale (North Yorkshire)
A lovey walk, starting through farmland and then a steady climb up the old railway incline to Ingleby Moor. Back along the top of Ingleby and Battersby Moors and back down to the start. (9.78 miles with 340 metres of ascent.)
From Carlton Bank: Four hills and a dale
Departure from Bilsdale Midcable (North Yorkshire)
A nice 11 mile walk starting and finishing at the Lord Stones Cafe at the top of Carlton Bank, where there is good parking. It takes in the three North facing hills and the climb to Round Hill. The route returns down past Bilsdale Hall to Seave Green. From here it passes through rolling pastures to a short section on Raisdale Road before taking a lovely path through woods and over the moors back to the start.
In total it is 11.66 miles and covers 2262ft of ascent and descent.
