Walking / Hiking

Started by: J3mbo (171)

Any walkers here? I've done many of the classic Lake District walks but nothing major foe quite a few years. Favourites were...

Loughrigg Terrace and Fell.
Helvellyn
Blencathra
The Fairfield Horshshoe
The Kentmere Horseshoe
The Langdale Pikes

Does/has anyone done this sort of thing? Anything in the North West. Any recommendations for anything a bit less strenuous than the above?

Have you tried walking along the Leeds-Liverpool Canal ? Pretty flat except for the Bingley 5 rise locks section. Easy to get to if you wanted to do it in sections. Took the train to Leeds and walked back to Wigan, took about a week with side trips, camped out but you could do B&B's because apart from the stretch over the Pennines, you're never far from civilisation.

I've done bits. All of it from Adlington to Scarisbrick and a few other small sections. May ponder on some more thanks

Al dithering Llangollen canal from Whitchurch to the Horseshoe Falls…3 days and over the aquaduct…can’t spell its name…a difficult stretch for a couple of miles after Ellesmere where the towpath was a little overgrown….stayed at Ellesmere and Chirk overnight

Did you ever have a ' pop up' tent on your walks and camps ? you just unzip the bag and the tent flys up in seconds but, the challenge is, getting the bugger back in, It took me an hour and half to get mine back in, I made a video and condensed it down

to a couple of minutes
