Langdale Pikes (Part 1)

Wednesday 14th September 2022

I’m going to try something different with this walk and break it up in to two halves. I’m often aware that my regular posts are never short in length; whether that’s for the quantity of words or photos. I could limit myself to ‘one photo and a few words’ per post so, I’m giving this a go.

This was my second walk of my week up in the Lake District. Having packed away my camping gear, I drove north to Great Langdale; knowing that, come the end of this day, I’d be checked in to my next campsite.

Old Man of Coniston

Tuesday 13th September 2022

My first ever walk in the Lake District! I’d skipped the chance to climb Scafell Pike on Monday, as the weather was abysmal and it was more than an hour’s drive from the campsite. But Coniston was only twenty-five minutes north of where I was staying. I hadn’t ranked the Old Man too highly on my to-do list but it would be very convenient and probably worth doing.

Cleveland Way: Day 6

Friday 17th September 2021

This would be my penultimate day following the Cleveland Way – or, to phrase it different; my final full day on this National Trail. I awoke in the morning, a stone’s throw from Robin Hood’s Bay at the bottom of the hill. Fourteen miles of coastline ahead of me. Scarborough in mind for my final night of camping.

Cleveland Way: Day 5

Thursday 16th September 2021

Another morning of emerging blue sky was waiting for me, as I unzipped my tent and crawled out of the sleeping bag. I’d soon be back walking beside the coast. Warm weather and another night under sil-nylon to follow.
