Didn't get up at all last year with all the lockdown malarkey. Fair lucky here in Lancs that there's decent walks relatively close by, but I'm ready for a change of scenery. Also if you find a flask that doesn't leak, let me know cause mine is crap Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Think it was a patch of moss at side of a streem just down from Patterdale!! Yes, it's some places the Lakes isn't it. 3 hr run from here in Notts.. makes it a long day out but well worth it. My sister lives in Penrith and is always begging me get my ass up there and get out walking with her. She's living the dream up there... she had the crampons on and ice picks out last week tackling some gulley on Helvellyn! I'll keep you posted on the flask front!! Looking back from Hart crag.. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I was out for 2 hours yesterday and lost all feeling in my extremities ... crampons and ice picks aren't for me. Moved away from Canada because of the cold, I can't hack it Lakes remind me of home, especially the smell after it rains in summer. It's not long from here and always worth the drive. I follow two guys on Instagram who post routes for Lancashire walks and they're quite good. I kinda like going places on my own and getting lost - I'm shit at maps I got to see some great local places last year I've not been to the Peak District yet but that's on the list for my post lockdown shenanigans. A flask that doesn't leak all over my hiking snacks would be a nice kit addition 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Obviously not as dramatic as the Lakes.. but still nice with some really wild barren places. That's a route below that i do now and again. Proper steep slog up to the top but a nice circular route after that with some ace views... as long as it's clear that is!! You can cut across that blobby bit top left.. but i wouldn't advise it if you get lost easy it's featureless barren moorland.. literally nothing around to get a bearing from!! I could give you a guided tour around there post lock down.. I'm only an away. You'd have to pay me in muffins though!! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've seen so many great photos of the Peaks, I'm keen to get down there. I follow a page on Facebook, it looks fantastic. Maybe I should do some map lessons ... pretty sure "blobby bit" isn't a technical navigation term That muffin was my version of a birthday cake! Best birthday I'd had for years, coffee and cake at a trig point, dog sat next to me with a chew. But if I'm honest I usually have a treat in my pack, just means I have to walk further to earn it 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My next trip to the Peaks is to have a look at Chorme hill.. or Dragons back as it's sometimes called. Bit of a ridge, nothing major by looks of it... but I've told myself to start and get these things ticked off.. time waits for no t**t as they say!! I don't really do the FB/ insta sights... perhaps i should, see what I'm missing out on! Yeah... walking and biking are beer and food tokens to me!! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
