National Park – Walks With Olly

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!

Arenig Fawr Walk (Part 1) (Snowdonia 2024)

Tuesday 14th May 2024

I’ve missed blogging and had never intended to create such an absence between posts on this site. As my previous post was one of the walks from last year’s trip to Snowdonia; I find it fitting that I’ll start now with writings of my first walk up in Snowdonia from 2024.

Tuesday 28th March 2023

It was raining. It would be pouring at times and this was no day to be spent up on the mountains Snowdonia. I could either lock myself inside the bunkhouse for the day… Or layer up, get my boots on, pack extra layers and embrace the elements…

Cnicht to Moelwyn Mawr

Monday 27th March 2023

Having climbed to the summit of of Cnicht in time for a mid-morning snack, I was faced with the challenging of heading for Moelwyn Mawr, across the valley, before I would think about lunch.
