So ends the second week of our One Million Steps challenge and oh my word, have we got the steps in?? The week has gone well on my part and I've managed to get over the target every day. At one point I was projected to finish mid November (but that was thanks to a … Continue reading One Million Steps Week 2
Hello all - I've been out and about recently and realised I never wrote about my long walk round the Back O Skiddaw - so I best had catch up on my writing. It was 20th May (a whole month ago!) when I set off to the lesser visited area around Uldale. Having been in … Continue reading All the Summits
Since my last blog I have been out a couple more times with the FTF team - here's an update on my progress so far. I went on my first Work Party day out, meeting the team at Dunmail Raise and headed up by Matt who works for the National Trust but is in charge … Continue reading Fix the Fells Volunteering Continues…
Yesterday I decided to get back on the horse and go for a walk up a fell I'd never been before - onwards to the Jaws Of Borrowdale! It seems a bit of an ominous title and yeah, some parts did look a bit like the set from a movie, but for the most part … Continue reading Castle Crag
Oh it's been a while - half term then the glorious sunshine over the Easter weekend is not conducive to sitting inside and writing. But the weather is turning so a little time to sit down and tell you all about our walk in Rannerdale. We did this walk over two weeks ago on a … Continue reading Rannerdale Knotts

The morning was a bit dubious. On the drive over there was a … Continue reading Longlands, Lowthwaite and Brae
I was going to walk much earlier on in the week because the weather has been amazing! But two walks of a different nature pushed my plans back. Both with the school on nature walks. One in the rain, one in the snow. Both were enjoyable but it was time for me to strike out … Continue reading Binsey
A review of the week, did I accomplish the things I wanted to? Let us look back.... Monday - I've been keeping a diary since the start of the year in the weekly notebook I got for Christmas. Since there are limited appointments and meetings for me to fill up the pages, a diary seemed … Continue reading The Week that Was Vol. 2
The weather has been lovely up here in the Lakes, as it has been in other parts of the country. I decided that it was a perfect day for a walk up Lord's Seat and Barf. I've never been up Lord's Seat but we have been up Barf from Thornthwaite as a family - the … Continue reading Lord’s Seat and Barf
