Darren Boustead - This website is a collection of information, photos and a few words about walks Darren has carried out. The majority of the walks have taken place in the Peak District, however he plans to go to the Lake District to start bagging some Wainwrights. As Darren says "Whether it be hiking in the countryside or hill walking, you can't beat a good walk in the fresh air. Hiking and hill walking are great ways of getting your body fit, healthy and active, as well as boosting your self-confidence and you also get to see some spectacular sights that you wouldn't get to see driving on the roads" Quite right.
