Walking the Cumbria Way: Day 2

Monday 19th May 2025

It’s been almost a year now since I completed the Cumbria Way and I’m keen to finish my write up on this, while also recounting other walks I’ve completed since. In short: I’ve missed blogging and had never intended to leave things this long.

This is actually my second attempt at writing this post today; having accidentally deleted this morning’s completed work, at the point of publishing!

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.

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.

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…
