You cant knock it, its simply a wonderful part of Scotland. Lying at over a 1000ft it also makes access to the high mountains somewhat easier and we took full advantage of any height we could. We even managed to get lucky and dodge the showers to enjoy some wonderful days out in the hills.... Very very happy days.... click here for the photos

A bit of a different weekend to a very infrequented part of the lake district, even on a bank holiday we hardly encountered another walker!!! I know there are very few people who would believe that but its true, a superb weekend away, some amazing scenery and some very happy smiley people, for the photos click here
What a beautiful part of the world, its Yorshire, its the dales but technically very little of the walking is within the yorkshire dales national park. That said I have no idea why because its simply beautiful scenery... perhaps less well know than other dales and valleys but there is no doubt as to its individual beauty, to see the photos click here
Ah back up to my home area, I love the North Yorkshire coast, its so often over looked. but it has some superb walking, Filey to Scarborough and the Ravenscar to Scalby does give you some wonderful opportunities to see some wonderful coastal scenery, towering cliffs, big seas, secluded bays, lovely! ... And the inland walking is pretty good too. Click here to view the photos
Back down South, this time to the Isle of Portland for some more wonderful walking along the South Dorset Coast. Mixed weather but it was a cracking weekend, good company and some lovely scenery. To see the photos click here
A firm favourate destination, Glaramara in the lakes, the forecast wasnt the best but we gave it a very good try and we got very very lucky, had a few breaks and saw wome cracking views!!!! Have a look, just click here
Somewhat different to destinations of late but its just as beautiful... lovely area, the north coast of devon is beautiful and certainly here there is some truely excellent walking... have a look, just click here
No its no good, time has come around to go and play in the mountains once again, heading off to play up in Spean bridge... There's some snow around, some cracking forecasts and its time to go play, off to the grey corries... want to see what it was like click here
Well what can I say, I love the mountains, I love them most of all in the winter, What a cracking few days.... Must do this more often, winter ascents on cracking clear days are just the finest days you'll ever get .... What more can I say... Have a look at these photos!! click here to view them
Ah the start of a new year for Walkwise and what better way to introduce it than a perfect weekend away in peaceful Northumbria. A small group made the break away to Alnwick and probably managed to get one of the best weather days we've ever hadup there and sang along with one of the best bands too!
Saturday saw us taking the old vintage bus along to the coast so we could experience the best walks possible and enjoy the linear route from Beadnell Bay, through high Newton, to Dunstanburgh, Craster, the bathing house, Boulmer to Alnwick.... Oh and what a day it turned out to be, lovely weather, blue skies and frost on the beach!!!! Perfert days..if a touch cold! Then its back to the hotel for dinner before we headed out to see Hugh in the tanners Arms and what a great night followed...singing and dancing, to every happy song you know...and there were tamborines and castanettes too!!! Sunday dawned and most of us were still singing... so the walks went out very very happy!!! Don headed off into the Cheviots taking a small raiding party up Hedgehope where he managed to break the frost in a couple of places!!! Meanwhile I strolled around the old parks of Alnwick Castle, visiting the priory, the abbey, the castle, the farmers folly, Prizlee hill and the Duke Grave... A great day but the best was yet to come.... Whilst sitting int he tea shop enjoying a celebratory tea cake, Ian, who had been search all weekend for a craster kipper., and always drawing a blank, stuck a repour with the cafe owner. She heard of his empty quest of the Craster Kipper and went out to fullfil his aim!! 10 minutes later she produced a Craster Kipper, made for Grannies and Ian, well he could not smile wide enough Another superb weekend!! Lets hope the year continues in this vane |
