Nantlle Ridge Circular Walk (Part 1)

Wednesday 15th May 2024

I’d been wanting to walk the Nantlle Ridge for a few years, prior to this trip. My original plan was to to it in March 2023. However, the weather was awful for much of that week and instead, I settled for a lowland walk through nearby Beddgelert Forest.

Ridge walks are often some of my favourites and, if I can tie them in to a circular route, it can make for a great day all round. I wasn’t overly familiar with the area and so, put my trust in a route discovered on OS Maps…

Planning for my Cumbria Way Walk

Next month, I’ll be heading north to walk 73 miles across the Lake District, following the Cumbria Way. This will be my first long-distance walk since completing the Cleveland Way in 2021. As before; I’ll be carrying all of my kit and camping along the way!

Exploring Shoulsbury Castle: Exmoor

Sunday 7th January 2024

This would be my first big walk of 2024 and one that would remain in my memory for some time. In all my years of roaming across Exmoor, I like to think I’ve covered most of it…

Arenig Fawr Walk (Part 2) (Snowdonia 2024)

Tuesday 14th May 2024

I’d made it down from the top of Moel Llyfnant and found myself standing amongst a grassy ground laden with cottongrass. With a hope of keeping my feet dry, I needed to get back on to higher ground, in my pursuit of Arenig Fawr.
