Introduction This is the walk I had planned to do last week. I was in unfamiliar territory this deep into Wales, and I arrived at the terminus of the Bala Lake Railway by 11.00. My “Back in 5 Hours” mantra was not to be realised today! It is a 1…
Introduction I had planned to drive deep into mid-Wales for my walk today, but with adverse weather approaching from the west, I hastily rearranged. Having hugely enjoyed the Chee Dale section of the Derbyshire River Wye on Sunday, I thought I’d return to the area. This walk covers the next…
Introduction It’s still hot and sunny, so Cal and I decided to take a Sunday day trip to a popular Peak District spot, followed by tea out at my favourite restaurant, The Lone Star in Buxton. It is a 45 minute drive from Cheadle Hulme. The walk is a about…
