Hi. Just passing through. Came across you off a link on another site. Nice site. Regards, Stephanie From: Stephanie Town/City: Birmingham Country: UK Date: Sun Mar 7 14:13:06 2004 Message 39:
Nearly 600 walks in here... I must say that I liked your walk up Chrome Hill from Buxton... I must do that some day. Regards, David. p.s: I also have www.coastwalk.co.uk which is a subset of the above. From: David Cotton Town/City: Cambridge Country: UK Date: Mon Mar 1 17:23:27 2004 Message 38:
Excellent site. Your site has just given me some motivation. Well you see I'm a fell runner living in the wrong end of the country. I'm currently in training for a Bob Graham Round (72 mile, 42 peak Lakeland 24 hour challenge) and can only get to the Lake District about once a month, so I have to make do with the beach and East Yorks countryside. It's very beautiful but very flat. Looking at your Wolds Way section I realise those small hills aren't exactly Cumbria or Snowdonia but would probably make a good 24 hour challenge. So keep up the good work! From: Jonathan Steele Town/City: Hornsea, East Yorkshire Country: England Date: Fri Feb 27 9:42:00 2004 Message 37:
Very nice Mike, the site has proved very helpful with the assignments. Keep up the good work. From: Liam Julian Town/City: Hull East Yorkshire Country: England Date: Tue Feb 17 11:11:22 2004 Message 36:
Hello Mike, We just enjoyed browsing through your site, which contains a lot of detailed information and is certainly a fine component of the walking network. The photos of Jacks Rake are a good example (we remember it well), many people find themselves wondering if they could tackle such a scrambling route but can't get an accurate picture of what is involved, those pictures give a clear idea. It's also good to see a wide mix of areas and types of walk - mountains, coastal and National Trail, which mirrors our ideas exactly. Keep up the good work and all the best with the site. We have our own site (url below) that we have called 'Walking and Backpacking in Britain', which is actually just England and Wales at the moment, in which we concentrate mainly on backpacking trips in mountainous and remote regions and exclusively wild camping, which has received little coverage on the Net. We camp on the mountain summits all year round and have captured some inspiring sunsets and dawns. We have a growing list of trip reports, accompanied by outline maps, over 400 static photos and other sections including an expanding gear section. We recently added the result of our most ambitious project - interactive moving panoramas (360-degree and partials). An example of both can be found on the recent 'High Street' trip from December. Regards and good walking From: Vivien and Geoff (http://v-g.me.uk) Country: England Date: Mon Feb 16 18:09:38 2004 Message 35:
Nice site. Good photos and you all look like you are enjoying yourselves, exactly what walking is all about. I will be visiting again and probably try a few of the routes you describe. From: Pete G Town/City: Northampton Country: UK Date: Sat Feb 14 16:04:04 2004 Message 34:
A very interesting site - I will be visiting again. Walked round Eccup reservoir yesterday - do you know where I can get a map/walks around that area (north Leeds). From: Diane Hazelgrave Town/City: Leeds West Yorks Country: UK Date: Mon Feb 2 19:03:53 2004 Message 33:
Great site, well done. I'm planning to do the coast to coast this year so I enjoyed checking out your info about that walk plus your details of the dales way which I backpacked a couple of years ago. All the best. Kev From: Kev Flint Town/City: Bolton Lancashire Country: England Date: Sat Jan 24 20:29:52 2004 Message 32: Congratulations on an excellent website. All the best for 2004.

Dear Mike, My 'Pub in the Middle' Walks web site will be available shortly. Hope you will try some of my walks even though they will be a bit shorter than what you are used to. It may give you more time in the excellent Yorkshire Dales pubs. I'll be leaving Bishop Burton soon, if I don't see you before I go, all the best Steve From: Steve Giles Town/City: Leeds West Yorkshire Country: England Date: Sat Jan 10 20:23:36 2004 Message 30:
Hi, you have a very great site, I like it. Anyway you are a very great photographer, nice picture. Keep it great. From: Endah Kurnia Wirawati Country: Indonesia Date: Thu Jan 1 14:44:28 2004 Message 29:
Just Visiting Pete & Lou for the weekend, they showed me your website. I'm going to forward this to a friend who visits the UK often and is a walker in the Yorkshire area. Could be in your neck of the woods next summer, e mail me if you are still talking to me......

Excellent site. Good clear information and good reviews From: Jeff Chapman Town/City: Hull East Yorkshire Country: England Date: Sat Nov 29 15:23:01 2003 Message 26:
Hi Mike, Now I know that at least someone else looks at my site besides my friends. Thank you for your kind comments - very kind comments. As compared with your site I feel BRILWALKS is a bit amateurish. One of these days, when I'm not to busy, I'll have to redesign it and see if can use some of the clever bits you've got on yours. Hopefully early in the new year I will be able to add a few more walks. Unfortunately, or is it fortunately, I retire from the local County Council back in March but in September I was asked to do some disabled audits and since then I've been very busy, although I still get the odd walk in. Tomorrow I'm off with Anne to Bredon Hill near Evesham and in the next fortnight the "boys" are off on another excursion. Probably somewhere in the Cotswold. Thanks again for your comments and I'll try an find an appropriate place on my website for you.

Re: Wolds Way. Sorry my friend did not take the camera, but I did see a beautiful sunrise from "The Bridge". It was worth all the pain Your site is an inspiration, take care John Paul Rose From: John Rose Town/City: Beverley East Yorkshire Country: UK Date: Sat Nov 1 18:28:03 2003 Message 24:
Wotcha Mike - well finally got round to checking out the site yesterday and was much impressed. Good info, precise descriptions and a seasoning of humour for good measure. Really liked the Sharp Edge one, what a shame I missed it. Got my photos back so will try and get a few scanned and on their way to you . Back in the city, so must get back on the case, rejoining the rat race. Anyway hope to see you next time I'm up. Have fun - smile - Spud From: Spud Town/City: London Country: UK Date: Thu Oct 30 10:47:35 2003 Message 23:
I'm enjoying the Walking Englishman web site - a friend and I are planning this walk for 2005. I know it sounds like a long time off, but I'll not be retiring until Jan. 2005. We are relatively fit for 64 and 66 yr old women. My question is which direction would you recommend walking since you have gone both ways. Most information I've read says go W to E because of prevailing winds, sun, and being fresh for the mountains. However, I've read that going E to W saves the best to last and you are more experienced in walking by the end. What is your advice? Thanks, Lynn Brickels From: Lynn Brickels Date: Tue Oct 7 16:59:13 2003 Message 22:
Dear Mike, First of all congratulations on your recent marriage -or perhaps not so recent now!! I'm sure you're still enjoying that honeymoon period. Sorry not to have been in touch for a while but we have taken a while to get use to this 'ere country especially now that we are living down in the South. We are based in Southampton which is a pretty non descript place. I'm doing a masters in engineering for development while Zee keeps us in house and home!We have half an eye on the south downs way a nice little five dayer that starts from Eastbourne and ends in Winchester, though there is very little literature about it. There's also a nice day walk which follows the Itchen river from Southampton in land up to Winchester. Not sure when we will fit the former in with the nights closing in, but the latter looks good. What walks do you have planned for the winter. Sorry not to have got up north, but it took us ages just to get used to the UK after 3 years in Nepal. Keep well and in touch and say hi to Deke when you see him, All the best, Chris and Zee From: Chris and Zarina Brewer Country: UK Date: Tue Oct 7 15:30:09 2003 Message 21: Hi Walking Englishman Just visited your site via Google, great views I did the Beverley 20 about a year ago, but plan to go again soon I live in Beverley and agree with you the walking is flat I enjoyed the Hole of Horcum but I start from the car park at the top and walk down the hole and up to Levisham and back across the moor Take care my friend, John Paul Rose From: John Rose Town/City: Beverley East Yorkshire Country: UK Date: Wed Oct 1 10:10:44 2003 |
