The 2nd walk for 2020 -  with plenty of variety: riverside, woodland and a chance to explore High Bentham. About a quarter of the route is along roads. There is an option to shorten the walk.

It's taken a while to get round to posting this - work preparing for our exhibition at inspire gifts and gallery in Lancaster took precedence :-)

We had a gorgeous day for our continued exploration of the beautiful Arnside and Silverdale ANOB - it wasn't quite as sunny when we walked along the Lune from Kurkby Lonsdale to Whittington (but it dad stay dry!).

Four walks and Four Craft Fairs ...

20/9/2017

0 Comments

 
Where does time go? It was when reading a friend's blog that I realised I hadn't updated my blog since March! Since when I've sold photographs at 4 craft fairs (at the fantastic Vintage Festival in Morecambe and at 3 events organised by the Bay Craft Collective at Heysham Heritage Centre).

There have also been 3 more Kindle book, walk descriptions - and an additional one only available from the website. 

I've also had picture displayed at Morecambe Artist Colony's Members Exhibition and taken part in a group exhibition at Carnforth Station Heritage Centre (with Johnny Bean and R Simon Dalton).

Claife Heights

A 5¼ mile walk, mostly along well-defined paths and tracks - though some may be muddy after rain - as can be seen from the images: it was very muddy on the day we photographed the route. The final section follows a tarmac road alongside the lake. There are some great views over Windermere (especially if you walk on a better day than we did) and the return route is along the lake shore.

Northern Rambles - new walk - Latterbarrow and Hawkshead

1/8/2016

0 Comments

 

Reaching just over 800 feet (245 metres) Latterbarrow may not be among the highest of Lakeland's peaks - but there are great views from the summit. This walk is almost linear, with a loop in the middle. The route mainly follows forestry tracks - exceptions to this are the narrower, fairly steep sections leading to and from the summit. 

Click here to view the web version or also available as a Kindle book.

Around Warton Crag is the only one in the north of England. Foyers from Inverfarigaig explores the lills and shores at the south of Locj Ness, whilst Cemaes Bay to Porth Wen is mostly along the Anglesey Coast.
The links in the text lead to the free web-based route descriptions.

The first walk of 2016  - Heysham to Hest Bank

28/3/2016

Heysham to Hest Bank - Cover Picture
There's lots of interest on this walk: Grade 1 listed buildings; fantastic views over Morecambe Bay (one of the most important areas in the UK for wading birds) along with the outdoor art of Morecambe's Tern Project. The route is mostly along the promenade with short sections along grassy footpaths around Heysham Head. There's also the option to walk some sections on the beach.
The recommended way to complete this walk would be to park on the foreshore at Hest Bank, catch a bus to Heysham Towers and then follow the walk back to your car. At the time of writing the Stagecoach number 5 bus (Carnforth to Overton service) operates once an hour, seven days per week.
There are plenty of alternative ways of completing the walk in sections using public transport or retracing your steps - a possible extension to the walk to Bolton-le-Sands provides wider public transport opportunities if you don't leave a car at Hest Bank. (the view - and the tides - will be different - though walking north provides the better views and usually has the wind at your back). Most of the directions are given for walking on the promenade - it may be possible to walk on the beach - but do beware quicksands and extremely fast moving tides (on the day that I photographed the Heysham to Sandylands section the emergency services were rescuing someone trapped on part of the beach by the incoming tide).

​Whilst staying in Keswick during October we walked up Latrigg from the other direction than we had before - what a great little hill - fantastic views. The Kindle book has been re-written to follow this latest walk. Both old and new are available from the Northern Rambles website.

Norther Rambles site updated with latest walk

Available as a free webpage and a Kindle book for just 77 pence.

This 7¾ mile route takes you across fellside pasture, where paths on the ground are unclear, through a small area of forest and along a riverside path. There are also sections along well-surfaced farm roads and short sections on minor roads. The River Hodder is crossed by stepping stones. The views from the higher parts of the walk on the side of Whitmore Fell can be quite spectacular - well worth the climb.
