Pendeen to Gurnard’s Head

So after completing 13 miles the day before, you’d think we’d take it easy. Not so for myself and Linda, we headed for tougher terrain and a similar distance the next day, with a fantastic walk from Pendeen to Gurnard’s Head. The weather was superb again and as we pulled up at Pendeen car park…

Hell’s Mouth to Lelant Saltings

So with just one walk under our belts on Dartmoor, we headed off again at the end of April for some coastal path walking. The weather again was superb (like it was in South Wales), and on returning to work the next week, I was told others would be booking the same time off as…

Blakey Tor, Round Hill Tor and hail

So we were back from Wales and headed out for a proper Dartmoor walk after some reasonably dry weather over the last month. I had a route in mind, although the bit after Round Hill Tor had me scratching my head as I was unsure if there was a clear path by the wall, leading…

The 4 Waterfalls walk

Time for our second break away this year and our annual visit to the Brecon Beacons (Bannau Brycheiniog), which we always try to fit in in early Spring/before Easter time. The weather running up to this had been mixed, but we had at least had the odd dry day for across the month of March,…

Parke and Brimley

So the wet weather had continued since the previous walk at Ashburton, but there was a small glimmer of something better. We planned a walk to start as the weather cleared, so we could enjoy the best of it. Well the rain and damp weather had decided to hang on a bit longer, and it…

Fernworthy Reservoir and Thornworthy Tor

So Linda was back from her mum and dad’s, and what would the weather do? We are still very much keeping it quiet here, it was very sunny, again!! Blue skies above with some white fluffy clouds flying through as this time a gale force wind was blowing, especially on our one excursion on the…

West Bexington to Abbotsbury

So I’ve completed a few walks over the years that have had plenty of insects, mainly butterflies, in the pictures. I make no excuses for the next three or four walks, where they will be inundated with butterfly pictures. This walk on the Dorset coast extends my coastal path efforts further east, pushing it towards…

Barnstaple to Saunton

So we’d stayed overnight in Barnstaple and as a result we were able to make an early start without the need for a 90 minute drive. We started again from the Long Bridge in Barnstaple, this time on the northern side of the estuary, heading for Saunton, hopefully. The route hugs the estuary again for…

Shaugh Beacon and Cadover Bridge

So I have an apology to you all, I’m sorry that I said I was fed up with the grey cold dank overcast weather we’d had for the last few weeks. From the minute I hit publish on that walk the weather has clearly gone, right Steve, your wish is my command. Lots of rain…
