Realistically we may be looking at next year, Iā€™ve already got a trek booked with a company in July and I have no idea if that is even going ahead

Is that Helvellyn on your picture?

Iā€™ve just got back from the Lakes and done Scafell, Great Gable and The Old Man of Coniston

ah okay cheers for the update man. Well if anyone wants to meet up and do a smaller group hike before I would be keen, it keeps me sane haha.

Nice man I love the Lake District! what one did you enjoy the most? I havenā€™t done The Old Man of Coniston. This photo was taken on the way up to Snowdon peak. Hiked that, Crib y Ddygsl and Glydr Fawr. Was good fun :slight_smile:

Ah and Lake District, Snowdonā€¦ God I remember and love them all to pieces! I would be right in with you if I still lived in the UK my friendā€¦ I find myself in Australia now though so bit hard haha. The chances of a group like this though brings a smile to my face! :ok_hand:

Iā€™d be up for getting a date in the diary :blush:

Next year would suit me better, am hoping my iron levels pick up in the next few months and I can start doing some proper walking again.

Although if any meetups happen in the meantime with a nice lunch in the mix I might join for that bit :face_with_hand_over_mouth::sweat_smile:

Starting off the convo again. How is everyone?
Would be great to reorganise and get this group of us together for a hike. Whoā€™s in?

Where are you from mate, there is a group on WhatsApp called ā€˜Recovery Trekkersā€™ who do a walk every Sunday if youā€™re interested? (Wales, Lakes, Peaks) etcā€¦

Yeah that would be great man. Iā€™m based in Guildford so a little bit away (about3hrs 30mins away) but I donā€™t mind driving. I would just make a weekend of it and then could meet up and join on Sunday for the walk.

I actually just got back from the Peak District last night. Camped in Edale for the weekend, hiked Mam Tor and the surrounding area. Was amazing!

Is there a usual spot you guys hike on Sundays or does it change?

I live at the very bottom of Cornwall. About two miles from lands end

Iā€™m up for camping with a bunch of you all, just need a bit of notice and be able to get there by train or close as I live in london.

Renting a car is an option but expensive and takes the fun out of it all.

Sorry mate, only just seen this.

Varies every week- this week in Dunham Massey / Altringham area

Ok I will bump this!

Reckon we can plan a camp in Edale (Peak District) in August some time?

Iā€™d also lead a hike up onto Kinder via Crowden Clough (highest point in the Peaks)
