Excellent, the forecast looked a bit kinder for this weekend, just some showers and we odged them with some superb timing! Get off the coach and the rain stops, get on the coach and it starts to rain again and in between the weather was very kind to us and we got to enjoy some very beautiful scenery. Well done to you all for completing a great challenge, good luck for the future and dont forget to get all that sponsorship money in... its all for a very good cause, Breakthrough Breast cancer.

Another new destination for me, I had done very little walking this far north, and having played around for a few days completing the rece and familiarisation, I was eager to start the holiday, but having done the holiday I just cant wait to get back the combination of wildlife, remoteness, wilderness, unique mountains some great people and most of all a big happy shiny sunshine made everything wonderful! So much so in fact that we are going to come back in 2013 and it will be amazing as long as the sunshine shines!!!
Photos of the rece click here photos of the trip click here A new walking destination for Walkwise, a trip to Norfolk! I know it surprised a lot of people, but the coastal scenery is rather good. A couple of days reces went very very well and we had some excellent weather, some cracking view and saw some lovely wildlife, birds and flowers... superb! All looked set for a very good weekend, that was of course until we saw the weather forecast, what a shame!! Anyway you can see the photos of what you could have seen :-)
Ah back down to Devon this time to the north Devon Coast to one of my very very favourite locations. We stayed in Minehead on the sea front and within walking distance of a few lovely pubs and some excellent cream tea shops! Our challange was to walk the 23 miles of coastline from Lynmouth to Minehead, that sounds lovely and the scenery is spectacular but the undulating cliffs dont half add something to the challenge, enjoy the views, click here to see the photos
Ah another weekend another event, but you could never get bored, so where are we this time, only in the Lake District, staying at Patterdale and walking around Ullswater... A very dubious weather forecast for the saturday saw a few last minute changes of route, so by the time we got off the boat the worst of the weather was left behind and we ended up having a superb two days around the lake, beautiful views lovely people and lots more money raised for breakthrough... I cant wait to do it again... Want to have a look at some of the photos, click here. If you are tempted to come along and try one watch out on the website for the events in 2012... they are great fun
What a change, 10 days in scotland then down to the cotswolds for a bit of a change... The weather was again very kind and there were plenty of fundraisers ready and raring to go to tackle the cotswolds challenge, and all in a very very good cause to raise money and awareness for Breakthrough Breast Cancer, oh and we do try to have a few laughs along the way... excellent fun, have a look at the photos and see for yourself
Wow, well what can I say I didnt want to go home quite yet! Shaun was running a days walk for Spice scotland Ben Nevis via the CMD, and asked me if I wished to stay up... Well what more could I say but ah go on then... What a day,what a hill, what a group... Fantastic views, an amazing ridge, I cant wait to do it again next year, click here to see some amazing shots
Ah back to the highlands, initially up to Aviemore to explore the cairngorms and then onto Ullapool for the second half of the week. Unfortunatley the weather forecast was a bit wild 100mph winds and rain, but not to be daunted we did our best to dodge the showers, we climbed high into the hills when we could and enjoyed the lower routes when we had to. To see the photos of the aviemore section of the trip click here. And if you wish click here to see the Ullapool photos.... All of which contributed to a very very nice week
How lucky have we been this year each weekend has been a belter and this one is no exception, been out in the chilterns this weekend, which is not an area I know well, found a new helliborine which was great! Also lots and lots of Red Kites which wheel around the skies constantly supervising the walkers passing by just lovely, click here to see the photos
Wow what a weekend, some very very happy smiley people, an amazing mountain, two beautiful lochs and part of the West Highland way made up this superb challenge.... On top of that the weather was kind, honestly thats kind and there were some cracking pubs along the way too!!! click here to see the photos
