Hey guys, just jumping in here after being directed from another post by @anon12657779. Newly sober for the 100th time but determined this time. Used to do loads of hiking until I became uninterested in life due to the booze. My usual walking areas are Northumberland (home), the Lakes and Yorkshire Dales. Would be great to get fit and get back out there.

It’s not like Helvellyn at all- did you do striding edge?
It’s Hilly but no sheer drops like that 
Same thing happened to me. I went to Ibiza the day after and couldn’t dance for the whole week.

I am so freaking envious of y’all! Love to hike and love the Highlands…but alas…am solidly in the US with two little ones these days. 
My great-grandfather immigrated to the States from Skye. Give me a few years and I"ll hop across the pond and join you!

Hiked from my own front door to and through Waterland north of Amsterdam. My favourite polder landscape . Went from sunny to foggy, it stayed very quiet. Just babbling geese, quacking ducks and chittering starlings and sparrows. Loved it.

I’ve got a back garden in the west Midlands. We live at the bottom of a lovely hill and not far from the Cotswolds and the Malverns. Loads of walking!
Wish Utah wasn’t so far away, sounds like a blast!
Went up the wee hills of Yosemite this weekend. Just lovely.
More than a bit jealous of you lot. Have an awesome trip out there!

Going to coledale Lake District in July they are circular routes as well, got a few books on trails will have to check it out again, but as @DarrenUK said Wales has a lot of good trails, Breakon is always a good option. Next year Ben Nevis
