Unrelated equally petty gripe but I keep getting news articles recommended to me about how three different walks in the peak district are on the top ten autumn walks in the UK. Except two of them are mam tor and winnats pass. BITCH that's the same walk!! I mean sure you can do mam tor without doing winnats pass but I can't see anyone doing winnats pass and not doing mam tor? I've not done winnats myself but... doesn't it go up there? I'm not sure it's even possible to not do mam tor also??

Anyway like I said petty and incredibly specific local gripe

[ewanmitchellcrumbs]

My lord could you imagine just walking Mam Tor/Kinder Scout and caually coming across Ewan like how surreal would that be, but in a cool way like you'd never imagine running into him there.

Fair play to the guy, its so sweet.

I don’t think I’d recognise him out in the wild, to be honest. I have fucking terrible face blindness!

I'll give you 3 and let you pick which to answer:

1 - Anyone in your life you wish you had a different relationship with?

2 - What's the most embarrassing thing you've done that you had to explain to someone?

3 - What do you do when you want to feel like hottest person in the room?

Im that bored, I'll answer all three:

Yes, many.

I went on a school trip when I was about 14 and my jeans were a little too big. We went walking up Mam Tor in the Peaks and it rained, and because my jeans were too big they got too wet and fell down. I didn't notice cause of the cold and had to explain to about 30 of my peers why my underwear was out infront of all of them.

I listen to my bad bitch playlist and wear my little black dress. With enough red lipstick I'm the queen of the place for a minute.

[2024-12-4] A misty and atmospheric morning in the Hope Valley. Walked from Castleton up to Lose Hill and onto Mam Tor. Mist came and went all the time. Walked back down the broken road rather than attempt Cave Dale on the slippy limestone.

Now then all. I've not posted for ages. It's been a busy last 12 months with lots of adventures and full time work, then some photography work in and amongst.

I'm going to post some bits and bobs from my little adventures over the coming weeks and get you up to speed.

I've had a huge focus and commitment to getting out on a hike every time I'm on my days off. So I've been to Skye, The Lakes District, The Peak District, North Wales and the Yorkshire Dales on various little trips here and there since last year.

I've got an over seas hiking trip planned in the Autumn in Madeira so keep an eye out for a blog and some images from that later this year.

So what can I tell you?

I've done a few bits of wild camping which has all been great. Some with mates and some solo.

I bought a new tent for wild camping last year, a Terra Nova one which I will post some images of. Great piece of kit

I sold pretty much all of my other wild camping one man tents last year and just got one tent to rule them all (ha ha). And it does as well....for me anyway.

I've shot quite a lot of video that I have tonnes to get edited up yet and I'm pretty behind with all that.

Just been so busy having adventures!

Anyway. Without further ado, here's some of my images with a little description with each one:-

We started out the new Year on New Year's Day in fact this year, with our first hike of 2024.

These were taken at Sutton Bank in North Yorkshire, England.

Beautiful clear and fairly mild day for the time of the year in the UK.

Our next hike was about a week or so later. We were invited to accompany my pal and his son and daughter in law to take on Blencathra in the Lake District at sunrise. Now this was a challenging hike as it was icy from about half way up and we had to really watch our step.

It was also pretty cold for the UK at around -7 Celsius with wind chill.

The views were ever changing with the cloud being very dynamic in the moderately strong winds. But it was epic and one I'll never forget.

Blencathra, whilst not hugely high at 868m, nevertheless was still challenging. There is a mix of moorland, narrow muddy then rocky paths with a bit of ridge walking as well. The views are stunning and I highly recommend this hike if you're ever in that neck of the woods.

Not long after that we had a trip with my pal Andy, a seasoned fell walker with tonnes more experience than I have.

We did Mam Tor and Winnats Pass in the Peak District. Great day out. Tiring but worth it.

If you are in the UK or planning a visit and you feel a pull to visit some of these places and you want my take on it and any tips on where to visit, let me know and I'll help where I can.

All the best and I'll post again sooner than last time.

Regards.

Neil.

Great Ridge walk from Mam Tor, Derbyshire UK, looking down on Edale and Castleton. Some of my favourite places.

Edale - Peak District

Upon my friend’s recommendation for a holiday, I did my little research and chose this fantastic place to stay - Edale. The land of sheep and wide, green fields that give you the carpet effect. It is the land of nice and helpful people, happy cows, clean and crisp fresh air, beautiful scenery, high hills, ancient history which dates back to 1200 B.C. that you can still bizarrely see the monuments and forts of that era if you climb high enough.

I only spent 3 nights, and 2 full days in this peaceful village. The first day I arrived in Edale, I saw this lovely small café right next to the train station which I popped in to ask how I could get to the hostel. There was no transport, no taxis, and they didn’t provide a pick-up service, either. All you could do is to walk 40-45 minutes on the road to reach to the stay, which I wasn’t very much keen on considering how tired I already was. Luckily, the guy working in the café, who looked around my age, offered me a ride which was highly kind of him. On the way to the hostel, we got to exchange some simple, brief personal information in a way of getting to know each other. He was born in this village and knew the area like the palm of his hand. He dropped me off right in front of the entrance and there we said goodbye. Overall, it was a very nice gesture.

The hostel is on a hill where you can reach through a farm that is surrounded by all kinds of sheep, which takes you to this road with tall trees on the sides that goes up to the hostel. The view from where I stayed was so picturesque. Right across it you could see these wide, green, mountain-looking hills with all their nakedness with lots of sheep scattered here and there. It was a worthwhile stay. In the evening I met two Scotsmen that I had a very nice conversation with. They both were quite funny and easy-going people.

The second day I made the most extensive walk ever. In total, I walked over 20+ km, including the climbs. Initially planning a round route all the way from the hostel to Mam Tor, then to Castleton, Hope, and back to Edale, I prepared my backpack and hiked to the hill where it would take me to Mam Tor, which is one of the most ancient places I have ever been to. It was pouring and I felt hesitant at the beginning, but toughened up and hit the road.

 As I was climbing up I looked back for a second, and the fear of height kicked in. I felt the wind blowing and just froze, thinking that I wasn’t able to climp up any further than that, so I started going down still being scared even doing so. On the way back, there was a middle-aged man coming up. We just greeted each other and I continued walking. After a minute I just stopped and turned back, thinking that I could go back there and maybe join the man, and in that case I wouldn’t be so afraid. Eventually I did so, and I couldn’t have been more pleased. He was very kind to accompany me and lead the way. We had a nice chat along the way. He also had a daughter around my age, so I felt as if he was ‘taking care of me’ in the way that a father would do which felt comforting and trustworthy.

And we made it! As we were finally on the top of the hill, we were facing this foggy panaromic view of Castleton on one side, and of Edale on the other. It was as misty as it could be, one wouldn’t be able to see their hand in front of their face. Yet somehow that mist added a mysterious and magical effect to that prehistoric fort we were standing on. There were two burial mounds as it’s said, one dated back to the Bronze Age and the other to the Iron Age. It sounds unreal when I think about it, how old and ancient this place actually is... We walked up to the peak through the mist on the grand hill. Once we reached there, I saw the old iron symbols on the burial mound around the fort. It was absolutely thrilling.

We didn’t take our time and started climbing down the proper path this time, which took us to Castleton. When we touched the flat ground, the sun started to shine which was like a warm welcoming. It took us about 20-30 minutes to walk to the centre of the town. You could still see some handful of ruins and untouched nature around you. People were very nice and friendly, too. Once we arrived in the town, we said goodbye to each other. I then walked into this old bakery called Peveril Stores, and got some treats to finally sit, relax, and enjoy. I couldn’t move for about half an hour, I was knackered, but also very happy.

Walking and climbing must have made me utterly hungry that soon after I found myself in the pub called the George, which was recommended by the kind lady in the bakery. I had myself a delicious vegetarian Shepherd’s Pie. Being fully fed, I hit the road again and walked to Hope, which took me about 40 minutes. And once I arrived, it started to pour again. Thankfully, the café that my friend had recommended was just around the corner, the Adventure Café. I got myself a nice cuppa with a slice of ginger cake, and thinking how full I already was, yet still kept eating. I guess all the walking just made me very hungry, and I was about to walk for another hour and a half back to Edale. The roads weren’t that safe, as there wasn’t enough space for you to escape when the cars drove by, but I survived.

Once I was back in the hostel, I was smiling. I was totally and utterly exhausted, but weirdly so happy at the same time.

The next day I didn’t do much. I walked to Edale centre, had a look at what was around. I grabbed some coffee first and wrote in my journal as I had so much to write about the previous day. Later on, I had a nice lunch at the pub that Scotsmen had recommended, the Old Nags Head. It was quite nice and filling. After a 45 minute walk, I was back in the hostel again. I poured myself a nice cup of tea, and enjoyed some reading. The next day, I was back in the old smoke again.

How do I know that walking (and tbh more specifically planning walks) has become a special interest? Well, this is my current list of walks to do:

And I'm adding to it all the time, looking up doable walks in my area (or places I'm going to visit), getting advertised walking challenges and hoping I'll have the endurance/fitness levels to do them at some point

(if anyone happens to have any recommendations of UK walks that are accessible by public transport and are 7 miles or under, let me know. Especially in the Peak District but I'd like to branch out potentially at some point)

(2023-12-11 Cave Dale Castleton) Where were the promised sunny intervals? It rained all the time I was out! Parked at Castleton Car Park. Then through the village centre to Cave Dale. The lower part of which was running like a river. Muddy further up but not as wet. Once at the top walked along the track to the road below Mam Tor. Due to the fog and mist decided to walk down the 'broken road' under Mam Tor back to Castleton which would have less traffic than down via Winnats. So wet today and no views but still good to be out, but maybe better to be out in better weather.
