Message 1,083:Hello, I would just like to thank you for your wonderfully informative, interesting and enjoyable walking resources on your website and your posts here on Facebook. Almost 4 years ago, without any 'proper' walking experience I decided to do the Coast to Coast walk and was encouraged by your account with its beautiful photographs, I completed it in 12 days. I have since enjoyed many walks, bagged a few Wainwrights and met some fantastic like-minded people on my travels, some of them becoming great friends. Thank you once again. May I wish you well for 2014 and all the wonderful walks it brings.

Hi Mike, Regarding the Bullock Smithy Hike can you tell me what time of the year this takes place and do you have to book it with someone, I would like to have a go at it sometime but being new to walking / hiking feel I need to get some serious miles in first before attempting it. To date the hardest routes I have done are Snowdonia up via the Pig and down via Miners and Scafell last weekend 23rd November. It was a bit of a climb up and I took the easier route back just to give you an idea of my novice status. Thanks for the website; it as given me some great walks to look forward to. I may even take the wife.

Thanks and well done for the superb site, it has given me some great ideas for walks. I did the Mam Tor walk on Sunday in excellent if rather cold weather, and can highly recommend it to others. The views from the Mam Tor ridge, where you can look down into the Hope Valley on one side and the Vale of Edale on the other were some of the best I have ever experienced. The downloadable .gpx files are very useful also when used with the old map and compass! Thanks again and keep up the good work!

Hi Mike, We wanted to get out and about today so we did your Eccup reservoir route. This was to date our 5 year old daughters longest walk. It was very muddy in places and we got back to the car wishing I had let her put her wellies on instead of her walking boots! Looking promising that we will get back up to decent distances.

My husband and I (he 69, me 66) have booked a deal to say at one of the Pendle Inn cottages in Barley for two nights in November. We really want to climb Pendle. However, I have a fear of heights - well not so much heights as edges with drops - I turn into a gibbering idiot. Also my husband had a fall last year and badly broke his arm so is a bit fragile on slippery paths! We do have the right equipment - hiking boots/walking sticks/poles. I am told Pendle does not have any sheer drops but have had differing advice from people I know about which way we should tackle it. We need to start and return to Barley as we do not have our own transport. Would you advise going up the steep slope and back by Ogden Reservoirs or is the other way better? Is the steep slope stepped all the way up (or down) or would it be possible to slip and fall, especially coming down. Hope you can help? Thank you.

Just a quick message to thank you for the great suggestion for the walk from Hartsop taking in The Knott, High Street, Thornthwaite Crag and Caudale Moor. My wife and I did this today and it was a fantastic day unlike when you did it unfortunately. It was the last day of our holiday and we'd had to be patient through the rain and doing the low level walks earlier in the week. Great description and photos.

He completed 17 miles in the two days of walking and camping whilst in the brecon Beacons which for his age was some going (v.Proud). It was good to meet you guys and we will be sure to use your site in the future for more adventures. Regards, James and Ryan Bowkett.

Hi Mike, Just to say a 'big thanks' for causing me to visit Malham for the first time recently. I noticed that you'd raved about it and not knowing the Dales very well thought I'd give it a try. Well, it did not disappoint, what an awesome place - even in the rain! I have added the walk to my modest site. I was not as intrepid as you are and did not go up the waterfall, my excuse being that it was in full spate. Well done you for having climbed it though, it does not look easy You've inspired me to visit the Dales more often, and I plan to go this weekend to visit Pen-y-Ghent and follow your footsteps again Keep up the great work, I really enjoy your site and the chatty descriptions of your adventures.

I just wanted to say that as an occasional walker I took the plunge and cautiously dipped my toes into the world of long distance trail walking this summer. Having just completed the 108 mile Cleveland Way over a rather sedate 10 days I would like to say that it's easier than I thought and a whole lot of fun, with great places to explore and people to meet on every day. I blogged my experiences in case anyone is interested and would be happy to offer any advice to any newbies thinking of undertaking their first long distance walk. Obviously I am hardly an expert but can speak from the point of view of having just made the transition from day walker. Great website by the way!

Hi Mike, Have loved reading your site as we have explored Lake District. We stayed near Keswick and while there created our own 10 mile loop, moderate walk, starting from High Ladore Farm, to Watendlath Valley, across to Rosthwaite (fantastic views) then past the YHA towards Seetoller and doubled back on the route via Castle Crag to Grange and High Ladore Farm again. Total ascent just over 600 metres, but broken into about 4 blocks of 150 - 200 metres. Took us about 5 - 6 hours. We could not find it mentioned anywhere and thought others might like to try it as we enjoyed it. Thanks again for suggested walks.

Thank your for posting and your friend very much for taking the time to compose such an interesting and thought provoking account of your trek to Everest Base Camp! The account was very compelling, and you also introduced me to my newest favorite food: Daal soup with rice! I found a little Indian restaurant near my house that had HUGE portions of both basmati rice and my "spicy ordered" daal... Six bucks (4 something quid??)

I have just turned 60 and decided I want to do something different in my life, to take up backpacking/ hiking. I have always loved the Peak District and visited many times when I was younger. So this year I set my goal and started to invest in buying good kit including tent, sleeping bag, rucksack, stove, etc. Ready for next year 2014 and I came across your website and found that it contained what I was looking for with maps to walking in the peaks. Thanks for this and I look forward to trying them out next year. Touch wood I will be back signing in with my experience in 2014. Thanks again, Roy.

Just to say thanks so much for the walks round Menaggio, on Lake Como, which is about a one-hour drive from where we live. We finally did the Sass Curbee yesterday, and it was fabulous! We'll try the other walks too. Thanks for the short videos at the beginning. They really set the scene. You provide lots of useful information for the visitor, including the subject of buses. The tickets are a pain in the neck, since so few places carry them. The other aspect you mention is the timetables. Indeed, as you probably worked out, buses are used mainly by school-children, and the timetables are based on the school-day, and the school year. That Italians kids have a three-month summer vacation, from early-June to early-September bodes badly for visitors wanting to reach places by public transport. And who wouldn't prefer to let an experienced bus-driver take you up a mountain?

Hi Mike, Firstly, may I congratulate you for your effort in compiling and completing such a wonderful array of walks, hikes and scrambles (you must have calves like the incredible hulk!). I have only recently discovered your site but have, along with the missus, managed to complete both the 'Helvellyn from Wythburn' and 'Skiddaw Range' (with Latrigg, a pint in the Dog & Gun and the walk back to the starting point thrown in for good measure!) walks. I am chasing G.W's 214 and have every intention of doing every single last one of them the hard way (Well! if a jobs worth doing....). Your site is brilliantly concise, beautifully compiled, is a wonderful resource, and an absolute credit to you. Keep up the good work fella. Thanks ever so much & may your socks stay dry!

Hi Mike, thanks to you for your website. I took three friends Ken, Robbie and Ben to the Lakes last week. We did Mr Deasey's recommended Scafell/Scafell Pike walk. It was absolutely banging. It took us almost eight hours but on a beautiful day it was well worth it. It was a case of blood sweat and tears all the way. My blood after boulder rolling on Lingmell, sweat from all of us as over 10 litres of fluid was consumed collectively and tears of laughter from Ken as he watched Ben scramble up Lord's Rake to cries of "this is a climb not a walk!" A thoroughly enjoyable day and many thanks to John Deasey. I will have to send you one of my Peak Walks which hopefully you will try. Thanks again for a great website as it truly inspires.

I really wish your Walking Englishman website was around before I left the UK to live in the US, but then I do notice that you haven't included any walks from the S.E of England Surrey/Kent/ Sussex. What I find most interesting is your personal comments gathered from the walks you've taken, since we all see the same vistas, but from different perceptions and that's what is interesting. By the way, I read your trek, along the rim of the Sumerian Gorge in Crete, I did the same, but went down to the bottom following the river until it emptied into the sea at a black sand beach. It was really a spectacular twelve mile walking trip as the gorge narrows to only a few metres and soars to about one thousand metres at that point - there is a couple of abandoned villages on the way (not too difficult to understand why they were deserted. I would love to do this adventure again - wife permitting. Thank you for producing this website.

I would never call myself a seasoned walker but living within an hour of the Peak District we tend to walk regularly around that area over the weekends. Your website is always my first port of call for walks. We've tried following route guide books, but have frequently ended up in some farmers field that was not on my map!!! In a couple of weeks I hope to fulfil my ambition to walk to the top of Snowdon. I am going on a guided walking break to Bedgellert (my treat for my birthday). You are given the choice of 3 walks on each of 2 days and yes (weather permitting) the top of Snowdon (and the Nantile Ridge) are both on the itinerary. I have checked your website, and am considering my options with walking the Nantile Ridge but I'll let you know if I overcome shaky leg syndrome and manage it. Thanks for a brilliant website.

Thank you so much for the Little Whernside pictures and story. 60yrs ago we had a special excursion with school where a bus full was supposed to be at each side and we were to walk over and swop buses but a huge thunderstorm came over and we walked the bogs etc with boots full of water and frogs everywhere only to find when we eventually got over Little Whernside the other group had turned back and taken their bus home and in those days with no mobile phones etc it was hours before our bus eventually found us all cold wet and muddy. A memory never to be forgotten. Just thought I would share my story with you.

We are walking the Yorkshire Wolds Way at present thought taking an extra day but, like you, am amazed at the beautiful and unexpected landscape. The Chalk downs are absolutely enchanting. Your guide is very useful. I walked the Hadrian's Wall Path about 5 years ago although in the opposite direction to you since, generally, the prevailing wind is west to east so if it's raining it is not always in your face! Spent this lovely Sunday morning reading your description of it and it brought back many memories. You were desperate to see some wall, so I was really surprised when you reached Heddon-on-the-Wall that you did not divert 20 yards off the route to see the first real stretch of wall. It would have been an uplifting end to the day particularly after the steep climb up from the Tyne. I have never understood why the trail does not take you to it but passes nearby. I was so inspired by this walk that I became a volunteer for the Trail for a section to the east of The Erington Arms. Not a particularly interesting part but someone has to do it. (It includes Matfen Piers where you watched the owl. I haven't seen one there but will look out for one.) But you do walk in the North ditch for quite a section. Next years project may be the Coast to Coast walk so will be back on your site for guidance. Once again, many thanks.

Mike, I can't believe its so long since 'The 1000 Mile (+) Walk' - You walked it! We followed you on the map - that AA map if you can remember!!!! The daily reports were wonderful to read, and despite awful weather at the start you soldiered on with utter determination to reach your goal of The Lizard in 80 days! (Taking time to walk a few 'Wainwrights' into the bargain.) I know that one of the greatest highlights as you walked you way down the country was the people you met along the way with whom you passed the time of day - taking time to exchange greetings of good will. These interesting facts are in your documentary of the walk, qlongside some beautiful photographs. We really do have a beautiful country when we take time to look. Some months before I had chanced upon your website and thoroughly enjoyed reading about your walks and dropped you a line of thanks. I also passed on the address to my friends and they now follow you. Along the walk I was lucky to meet up with you and Steve, who by this time had joined you, and John who walked with you from Caldbeck to Keswick. We enjoyed tea and scones together in a lovely little cafe in Keswick on a beautiful sunny evening. With kindest regards to you from Gwen Masey

I have made 4 visits to High Cup Nick now; 2 with the dubious encumbrance of a road bike, in my teens, when the route was not marked and nobody was about. I am now nearly 68. Always approached from the east, ie via Cow Green which gives the opportunity to visit Cauldron Snout en route, a waterfall (or cascade) which is impressive when in flood. I suspect that the visual advantage of approaching from the east is that HCN is quite suddenly presented in all its glory in the last 50m or so as you approach its rim. The disadvantage is that you will most probably have to ford the Maize Beck which can vary between a trickle and a raging flood ! But I have to say that the vista thus presented from the lip of HCN is awesome and I am not aware of its like anywhere else in the UK. I am hoping to make another visit this year .. but on foot, not bike. I suspect it is mostly rideable, just. But MTBs did not exist in the 1960s !

Hi Mike I have been a follower of your site over the last three years. I have utilised this site when planning walks with my family and friends. However I would like to thank John Deasey for the Haystacks and Great Gable walk. My son and I did it on Monday 8th April. It was superb with a few hairy moments on Kirk Fell due to the snow and on Windy Gap where it did blow my son over. It took us just under eight hours but it was an absolutely banging walk which I will do again; hopefully with friends. Please pass my thanks onto John Deasey and thanks to you for an inspirational website.

Mike - I love your site - a veritable modern day Wainwright! I found the site when looking for information and advice about Jack's Rake. My (12 year old) daughter has been wanting very much to climb that route for years having seen it from the other side of the tarn at an early age. While we both have proper boots, etc and are familiar with the Lakes, I cannot truthfully describe us as experienced as our visits are too infrequent. I would love to take her up but am mindful of the risks and accidents I have read about. It is hard to judge whether it would just be challenging for us - or reckless. Would you, or do you know of anyone who would be willing to accompany us i.e. a guided walk? We are spending the best part of a week based in Ambleside at the end of May.

Just walked the Saltaire, Bingley, Harden Moor route, fabulous walk and I really enjoyed it. However there was one fly in the ointment, at the end of the Cottingley Wood Estate road you cannot get out! There is a new electric gate with metal fencing completely blocking the route to Manor Drive and Ghyll Wood Drive, rather than back pedal I scrambled up through the wood towards Beckfield Road, clambered over a wall and found a rocky footpath down to the otherside of the gate, I have since found that the road through Cottingley wood Estate is not a right of way, there is a way round, but not as scenic. Still, a good walk all in all. Many thanks.

Hello Mike, I have been having a more thorough look at your great site. The photos of High Cup Nick are fabulous. That was the 5th walk I did in 2003 which was down as moderate but our leaders tended to over exaggerate!!! I was 60 when I got into walking so it was well worth the effort. I often visit a friend in Richmond, Yorkshire and usually do the Drummer Boy walk which is a gentle one for anyone to do if they're in that area. In 2011 I did the 15 mile Boundary Walk and got the Certificate to prove it!! That walk is held every 7 years so I needed to do it while I was still able. It was a fun day and the weather was glorious until the very end when the heavens opened. Keep smiling, Pat

Hello Mike - It is a few years since I wrote in the Guestbook but you might remember I was the looney tunes who climbed Hellvelyn after taking the wrong path. I twisted my knee on a walk about 4 years ago and had to rest and never got back into walking with my group which was really sad. However in 2011 I went on holiday to South Africa and there was no way I was going all that way and not attempting Table Mountain. I was sensible and hired a guide and we walked up through Cecilia Forest. It was quite a strenuous walk but I made it. According to the guide she said I had walkers legs ? I never knew walkers had "special" legs. Last June I went to China and managed to walk on the Great Wall which again was brilliant. I was 70 in September so am trying to pack as much in as I can. I am thinking of going to South Africa again next year and get fit enough to climb the Front Table. Hope all goes well with you, Pat
