trig bagging – Walks With Olly

Gibbet Hill from Lydford Gorge

This post continues on from my brief morning visit to Lydford Gorge, as I returned to the same car park. Persistent rain was… Persistent!

Twmbarlwm Trek (Part 2)

Sunday 13th November 2022

Having enjoyed a cup of tea and some solitude beneath the mound of Twmbarlwm, my walk would continue with a steep descent towards Cwm Carn. People had passed me, heading up and down the hill, as I sat and enjoyed my deserved respite.

Twmbarlwm Trek (Part 1)

Sunday 13th November 2022

At the time of this walk, Brunel Walking Group was away up in the Peak District. I’d passed on the opportunity to go away with them and didn’t want to waste what free time I had to myself. So, I crossed the border in to South Wales and set off on another walk that was new to me; destined for the summit of Twmbarlwm.

Cleveland Way: Day 3

Beak Hills to ‘Wild Camp’ (21 miles)

Tuesday 14th September 2021

After two nights of camping across the North York Moors, I was really starting to settle in to my walk along the Cleveland Way. This third day would be my longest of the week and by the end of it, I’d almost be clear of the moorland section and ready to step on to the coastline in Day 4.

Oh and, unless something would change suddenly, I’d be wild camping at the end of it! In an area I’d not visited before.
