Message 260: Looks like I have found the perfect site to persuade my work colleagues to get out of the office and get some fresh air. We decided on one drunken night to tackle the Three Peaks of Yorkshire. We have relented for the wimps to just tackle Pen Y Ghent at the end of August. Though three of us are going to tackle Snowdon next week. How about visiting Lancashire A Pendle B Trough of Bowland C Longridge Fell D Three Towers Circular etc. From: Michael Sutton Town/City: Blackburn Country: England Date: Saturday 13 October 2007 Message 259: I discovered your website two days ago and it prompted me to venture out to Ilkley and walk the Ilkley Moor Walk you described. Thank you so much for your helpful information and guidance. Although a bit of a novice I made it round in good time and it was so useful to know which landmarks to look out for... though the very heavy fog made identification a little harder than I imagine it would normally be. I look forward to trying other walks in the area. Thank you. From: Susannah Chapman Town/City: Leeds Country: England Date: Friday 12 October 2007 Message 258: Fabulous website. My husband and I intend on doing the coast to coast in your spring of 2008. We love walking in Australia. From: Sharon Smith Town/City: Melbourne Country: Australia Date: Thursday 11 October 2007 Message 257: Just to say thanks for your guides on the Italian lakes area. My wife and I are just back from Lake Como and we appreciated the information you had included on your website. We combined these with the official walking guides from Menaggio's tourist office. It was reassuring to recognise ourselves standing where you had taken photos - we then realised we were not lost after all. The big oak tree walk and Refugio de Menaggio will live long in the memory. Keep up the good work. From: Simon Kelly Town/City: Bangor Country: Northern Ireland Date: Monday 01 October 2007 Message 256: Did Hebden Bridge Stoodley Pike Walk yesterday. A very enjoyable walk with nice weather but abit windy at Stoodley Pike. I thought the views and countryside were great. Hope to do more walks myself in and around Calderdale area in the near future. Hardcastle Crags Walk may well be the next one. From: Graham Nelmes Town/City: Leeds, West Yorkshire Country: England Date: Sunday 16 September 2007 Message 255: Was in Wainstalls near Halifax for one day only, Sunday 2nd September, when I noticed Stoodley Pike some miles away on the hillside. I asked my host what it was and why it was built. He didn't know so I resolved to find out for myself. Keying in Stoodley Pike took me to your website where I found the information and more. Many thanks for that. Maybe, just maybe one day I may manage to visit this wonderful monument. Again, many thanks. Les Forrester. From: Les Forrester Town/City: Larbert Country: Scotland Date: Tuesday 04 September 2007 Message 254: ILKLEY MOOR WALK - I just did the walk you describe today - I am a little out of condition so it took me just over five hours. It was a fine day with a pleasant breeze. From the Doublet Stones onwards I saw perhaps no more than five other walkers for hours - not until I returned to the main drag above Ilkley. Well worth the trip. There are some perhaps more convenient car parks virtually on the the route which may be worth looking at rather than doing the climb up the Gyll twice. From: Frank Sweeney Town/City: Shipley Country: England Date: Sunday 26 August 2007 Message 253: John Standley and I abandoned our wives for a week in June and walked the Dales Way. Despite the rain we had a great time, ate and drank well and laughed a lot. John composed this limerick in honour of our journey. A couple of hopeful old males Went on a trek through the Dales It was eighty odd miles Of sheepshit and stiles But they walked it on beef pork and ales They saw thousands of sheep but few goats And eventually Windermere's boats They were serial killers Of the products of millers But waited a week for their oats. From: Peter Speller Town/City: Harrogate Country: England Date: Wednesday 22 August 2007 Message 252: Thanks for a really useful guide to the southern part of the Cornish Coastal Path. Excellent for someone like me with no prior knowledge of the area. From: Amanda Hewitt Town/City: Surrey Country: England Date: Wednesday 22 August 2007 Message 251: First time visitor to your page. Looked at Helvellyn walk and was surprised to see it labelled as difficult. I climbed up from Glenridding up Swirral over the top and down Striding and back down to Glenridding when I was 4 and walked in wooden clogs. Mum and Dad couldn't afford new walking boots for us each Easter - I admit I did need to be bribed all the way with jellytots. Done the walk many times since and in many weathers. Very homesick looking at all your piccies. From: Stephanie Latham Town/City: Melbourne Country: Australia Date: Wednesday 22 August 2007 Message 250: Hello Walking Englishman and Lady. Congratulations on a most entertaining site with wonderful photos. I found you whilst researching my forthcoming 49th annual holiday in the Lakes. YES 49th ANNUAL. This year we will be four generations from me down to 6 year old great-grandchildren sharing one of the days probably Todd Crag on good old Loughrigg. I have been on almost all your walks and so enjoyed having my memories stirred. Somehow I never got over to the Coniston tops. Nowadays it's valley walks and smaller climbs so will do the Hawkshead one with hopefully a boat trip back to Ambleside. We have enjoyed Glaramara both from Stanger Gill and from Stockley Bridge Have you explored it? Happy Walking. I am recommending your site to our not-so-old family members. Sally. From: Sally Harnett Town/City: Ashwell, Rutland Country: England Date: Tuesday 21 August 2007 Message 249: Dear Walking Englishman, It was great to see videos of climb to mount Grona published on youtube! I would be curious to know where the climbers found accomodation. I am an Italian climber and mount Grona represents for me a myth. Also the ascension from Val Sanagra is fantastic. These places are so "undervalued" touristically and I am glad more people are finding out about them. Cheers. From: Andrea Town/City: Como Country: Italy Date: Wednesday 08 August 2007 Message 248: Don't get out much with where I live now but I will bear this site in mind when I've got the time.I have got a cottage holiday in the dales planned next I will be sure to do one or two of the routes you have described. Until then I will enjoy some of the pictures and daydream. From: Ross Shimmon Town/City: Sleaford Country: Lincolnshire Date: Tuesday 07 August 2007 Message 247: Mike, it was very nice to have met you and your wife in Italy. After our drink in the genuine Irish Pub in Bergamo my trip to Berlin was excellent. Luckily I did not see any dogs in the restaurants. I took a great bicycle tour around the city. I'm looking forward to seeing your pictures from Bergamo. From: Audrey Town/City: Baltimore Country: USA Date: Monday 06 August 2007 Message 246: Nice site and beautiful pictures of Blencathra which has to be 'the' mountain in the Lakes for all sorts of reasons. From: Phil Webb Town/City: Clitheroe Country: England Date: Saturday 28 July 2007 Message 245: Good work on an informative web site. Thanks. From: Archana Gautam Town/City: Fremont Country: India Date: Friday 20 July 2007 Message 244: Thor's Cave, Derbyshire. Did this walk on Saturday after reading about it on your site. Had a lovely walk and just what I was looking for and one I would never have heard of elsewhere. Many thanks for your interesting descriptions which added to the pleasure I got from the walk. Regards, David. From: David Huxley Town/City: Stockport Country: England Date: Monday 09 July 2007 Message 243: Great web site. Gives you the information you need. The photos on your site give me a great insight into the type of ground to be covered. I have just completed the walk around Malham and Gordale Scar was exciting once up to the top. Pleasant walk to the Tarn then heading back down to Malham Cove. This took a bit of time to negotiate as it was very wet and very easy to slip. Overall a very enjoyable walk with a great sense of achievement. Looking forward to having a good go at a few more listed. Ingleborough next. From: Guy Olsen Town/City: Leeds Country: England Date: Sunday 08 July 2007 Message 242: Just seen your site for the first time and I look forward to savouring it on those non-walking days. Congratulations on the excellent description and photos of your climb up Jack's Rake on Pavey Ark in the Lake+District. It is the best I have seen. From: Roger Stonier Town/City: Kidsgrove, Stoke on Trent Country: England Date: Friday 29 June 2007 Message 241: Hi. I found this page at random by looking for easy walks on the internet because we want to travel to the Lakes with 4 children. I am very impressed and would like to thank you in advance for giving such detailed descriptions and ideas. I am really looking forward doing the Elterwater Waterfalls walk.
