Message 240: Mike, you helped me a lot last year when I was planning a short hiking trip to the Lake District and the Peak District and I was remiss not to write back to thank you for your great support. I hope it is not too late now. I look forward to being able to return the courtesy in the event that you plan to come to hike in Italy at any point in time. From: Furio Sabatini Town/City: Milan Country: Italy Date: Thursday 07 June 2007 Message 239: Hey there. I've been walking for a fair few years now and searched sites and I always end up back to your site for the easy navigation and wealth of knowledge that you have put up here. I have also found new walks to go on with my dog that are localm to me, rather than having to go miles and miles away. Thanks to you the Walking Englishman. I also go various places in the UK and will definitely refer back to the site for local walks to where I'm going. Cheers mate. From: Richie Fox Town/City: Leeds Country: England Date: Tuesday 05 June 2007 Message 238: I have just stumbled upon your website and I have to say it is really impressive. A fantastic resource mixed with enthusiasm and broad knowledge. I will certainly be referring to it for information and ideas for years to come. If I happen to come across any impressive walks that you have not already covered doubtful I will certainly send details of them to you for posting. Many thanks. Marc. From: Marc Sturgeon Town/City: Harrogate Country: England Date: Tuesday 29 May 2007 Message 237: Reading the account of your walk on Snowdon having just returned from a weekend there I was amused to find you also encountered some fools who had disembarked the train with a view to walking the rest of the way up Snowdon in the most inappropriate attire. In particular I really admired a young ladies little gold handbag and pink velour tracksuit. Very much essential mountain walking gear. I almost gave up when I got to the point where Pyg track and Miners track meet and I made the mistake of looking up to where I had to go Thanks to my fellow walkers encouragement I continued to the top. It was magnificent. Today I ache but it was well worth it for the sense of satisfaction. I still haven't stopped smiling. From: Teresa Chapman Town/City: Barton le Clay Country: England Date: Monday 21 May 2007 Message 236: We have been absolutely delighted to find these sites about Dales tarns and waterfalls. As pretty intrepid swimmers we swim wherever it looks clean and deep enough to do so. We would love to learn of any Dales tarns -- especially in secluded places -- that are good for swimming. Those we have sought out so far have been disappointingly muddy, shallow and weedy unlike many in the Lake District. With thanks for any tips on unmuddy, deeper and unweedy Dales tarns! Please reply to : mjshodge@hotmail.com. Thank you. From: Jon Hodge Town/City: Harrogate, North Yorkshire Country: England Date: Friday 18 May 2007 Message 235: Hi. Great site. As the guestbook entry below (Richard Histon) the majority of my walking is done in the East Yorkshire region. I've done the Wolds Way and referred to this site often when looking for advice and guidance...or just a little inspiration. I have to agree with the other walker about the Dual Carriageway. I walked the Wolds Way southwards and was totally caught unprepared for the mad dash. I wasn't going to back track to the bridge. The signs for the diversion were everywhere once across. I was going to do the Beverley 20 but will have to start in Welton because of said carriageway but not sure of the route from Walkington to Beverley. No distinct footpaths and I detest road walking. Thanks for the site. From: Mike Dearing Town/City: Hull, East Yorkshire Country: England Date: Tuesday 15 May 2007 Message 234: Interesting site. I've just completed the Cumbria Way and still find walking along watercourses a bit of a chore but well worth it for the solitude of Langstrath. West Highland Way in three weeks then the C2C on a bike in July. Walked Offa's Dyke Path, C2C, Hadrians Wall and its the Pennine Way next year so if anyone can give me blister cure I would more than appreciate it. Nick.Adams8@btinternet.com. All tips appreciated. Keep up the good work. From: Nick Adams Town/City: Buxworth, High Peak Country: England Date: Monday 14 May 2007 Message 233: Hi, many thanks an awesome site, a lot of hard work has gone into it. I've now done quite a lot of the East Yorkshire ones as I live in the area, and I am halfway round the Wolds Way. By the way the Melton Junction has now been totally ripped out (i.e. the traffic lights) and it is now a full dual carriageway from Hull town centre right through to the start of the M62. There is a footbridge across now, but the Wolds way route was disrupted because of it, maybe it's back to normal now. Thought you'd like to know the Market Weighton walk has a date error, Edwin died circa 632/633. Again, lovely site which I will keep looking at as I go round (using memory map/gps, makes life easier doesn't it?) Note: I have updated the relevant pages. From: Richard Histon Town/City: East Yorkshire Country: England Date: Saturday 12 May 2007 Message 232: We did the Fewston and Swinsty walks and also climbed Ingleborough. The scenery was beautiful. Great site and full of information. Thank you. From: Bev Town/City: Leeds Country: England Date: Saturday 12 May 2007 Message 231: I enjoyed your Lindley Wood and Norwood Edge walk yesterday. Best walk I've done for a while. Great views of Swinsty and the surrounding countryside. I saw plenty of varieties of birds plus a deer in Lindley Wood. I had to walk to and from Otley though which was a bit too much in the hot weather. Hope to do more of your walks this year. From: Graham Nelmes Town/City: Leeds Country: England Date: Sunday 15 April 2007 Message 230: Hi and thanks for putting your walks up on the net. My girlfriend and I have followed a few now and really enjoy them. Just spotted Deke juggling on Sharpe Edge, good to see! I am a keen juggler and walker and have juggled five balls (at least) on the top of Ben Nevis, Snowdon and Scafell Pike. Next week we are going up Great Gable hopefully with a bit of sightseeing to Napes Needle. Matt and Eve from Leeds xx From: Matt Tiffany Town/City: Leeds Country: England Date: Sunday 01 April 2007 Message 229: What a cracking good site. I used to spend my time around Kinder, Bleaklow and Black Hill etc but the last few years have found me driving to Horton in Ribblesdale, Ingleton and Dent to walk in Gods country. It belongs in Lancashire as we all know but someone made an error in the Doomsday OS 25000 and the rest is history. Your site has given me tons of ideas so please keep them coming. From: Dave Wynn Town/City: Manchester Country: England Date: Friday 23 March 2007 Message 228: Superb site with lots of information about the walks. Please keep up the good work cos it's a great source of info and just to say the photos are excellent. Cheers. From: Mark Francis Town/City: Salford Country: England Date: Thursday 22 March 2007 Message 227: What a great site. I am new to walking and this is site is so good for picking your level of difficulty. I hope to use this site a lot and will post back with a report. From: Danny Town/City: Bradford Country: England Date: Thursday 15 March 2007 Message 226: Great site. I especially like the photos. They gave me a whole new insight into Sharp Edge which is on my to do list for 2008, i.e. it's not the scary don't do it if you're not an extreme climber thing that some guide books would have you believe. Cheers and keep up the good work. From: Ian Harrison Town/City: Runcorn Country: England Date: Tuesday 13 March 2007 Message 225: An absolute gem. This site should be as well used as Wainwright's books, both having an essential part to play in the discovery of the Lake District for all interested parties. I particularly like the walks round Elterwater where I took my five and eight year olds to introduce them to walking in the Lakes. Having no maps I didn't know if we had time to get right round so cautiously returned after getting what I now know was about a third of the way. We will be able to tackle the walk again in the near future completing it this time and Crinkle Crags which I did about ten years ago but didn't have a clear idea of the best route. We went round the opposite way to you. This site is firmly in my favourites folder and will be visited regularly. I produce a website for the Campaign for Real Ale in Southport and will definitely find a way to include a link to your site from www.southportcamra.org.uk From: Phil Morris Town/City: Ainsdale, Southport Country: England Date: Tuesday 06 March 2007 Message 224: Fantastic site. Must try more Yorkshire walks. Cheers. From: Tommy Town/City: Thornaby, Teeside Country: England Date: Tuesday 06 February 2007 Message 223: I love the lakes and this website has inspired me to take up some of the challenges I've been putting off. It's a great site. Many thanks. From: Nathan Davies Town/City: Newcastle Country: England Date: Friday 02 February 2007 Message 222: Thank you very much for passing on your experiences in such a helpful manner. You have and will continue to be very influential in our choice of routes for many times to come. May we ask, have you ever bivvied in a cave overnight in the lake district and if so, where might that be?. Thank you for your time and effort, may your caves be dry and your rocks be non-slime covered. Cheers :P Also well done to all that use this site and complete these walks, yomps, treks, climbs, scrambles and journeys... we hope that you, like us will continue to enjoy our beautiful country!. I replied - no caves, not yet, but you never know!! From: Matty and Jamie Town/City: Rochdale, Greater Manchester Country: England Date: Monday 22 January 2007 Message 221: Beautiful site. I really recognise parts of some walks I made in the Peak District and the Yorkshire Dales. I especially like the photos and the maps. It is not allowed to do that in Holland. In the summer I will visit Shropshire. Please add some walks from there if you can, not as hilly but with the Long Mynd, Wenlock Edge and the Stiperstones. Although I am Dutch I have a sister living in a very quiet and beautiful area in Germany. I visit her as often and came to love this place. It is near the river Rhine. Just have a look. Unfortunately only in Dutch and German at www.hunsrueck.nl. Greetings from Holland. Ferry Ballhaus. From: Ferdinand Ballhaus Town/City: The Hague Country: Netherlands Date: Tuesday 16 January 2007 |
