6 miles of these hills today. Round of burgers after.
Deep conversation of the week: Why is it called a “station wagon?” And is a hearse just a station wagon for the deceased?

Yes, I totally got that. Though we have no bears, when I opened my tent the other week I found myself surrounded by sheep!!
Well there was a whole line of them looking at me with red eyes!!
Well, one or two were looking my way the rest were just being
But yeah, I’m glad we don’t have to worry about beers, I mean ’s
Hahaha I can totally picture it. Roll over, peek out the tent zipper to see how light it is outside, then… “well good morning to you too! Now give me my space!”
Have you seen the film black sheep?
Um. No! But … Um… No!
Sooo I haven’t done any proper walking for a while. But I’ve just signed up to the Peak District Challenge so I absolutely need to get back onto it!
Easy day today but yesterday clocked up 38,000 steps, mainly hitting the hills around Malhamdale in Yorkshire. No idea what distance (or elevation!) we covered but spent a decent chunk of the day on our feet. Started off with a cream tea - much needed energy of course. Walked through some woods, scrambled up Gordale Scar, lots of sheep spotting and generally looked at lovely views from the top of big hills.
Are you wild camping or finding sites?
Some great pictures!
Omg, I want to go to there!
We found a site to stay at for a couple of nights and checked into a b&b yesterday because of the weather forecast. Staying here again tonight and then popping home tomorrow, and off to North Wales on Monday. One of my colleagues recommended a site called Porth Iago, so if weather behaves we will go there for a couple of nights then probably find a hotel or b&b for the last night after climbing up Snowdon.
Now we’ve been here and got a bit of an idea of where to go I would be up for doing some wild camping another time.
It’s amazing, would highly recommend if you’re ever in the UK! (As well as coming to see me in Cheshire obvs )
Where are starting Snowdon? Llanberis?
Yea I think so, that’s what they recommend the first time you go up there
Yeah, it’s not a bad route. Go buhind the railway. Be warned it’s a bit steep before you even get off the tarmac.
Hope the weather is better for you, we had low cloud and misty rain, couldn’t see anything.
Did a great 5 mile with a couple friends. Solid steep sections with a great view of the whole coastline. Roughly 1700 ft climb so it was a shorter hike. Still beautiful! I wish I had pictures!
The Netherlands is a beautiful country. I was there on business last year and promised myself I would go back and do some walking and camping.
Looks great- I’m camping at Malham cove tomorrow- will post pictures after my return. Might bump into each other walking one day Sian although I probably wouldn’t recognise
Ah we’ve just got home. We stayed at a campsite in Little Stainforth which was nice.
Look forward to seeing the pictures, hope the weather behaves for you!
You should!
Just looking at Snowdon options. We have a hotel in Llanberis booked but I wonder if we would be able to have a crack at any of the other paths… Could definitely be fitter but we don’t mind a challenge. Have you done any of the other routes?
