Britain's most popular place to start a hike
« on: 16:20:54, 12/03/19 »
Saw this on the BBC website today that according to OS, Edale in The Peak District is the most popular place to start a hike

However they have gathered the information from "routes created and shared on the OS Maps App", nothing about whether the walks were actually walked!

Where there's a will ...

Edale. :)
 Is one of my top favourite places to start a hike .
Over 50 years of walking and hiking around the magical
Hope Valley ,never lost it's appeal .
Having gone camping when I left school  in the sixtys in a ridge canvas tent .Oh what fun ,a bit like the Fast Show :D
And camping in Every Campsites in the  Valley.
We came from Manchester on the train  . To explore
Everything was a big adventure .  Wonderful days out hiking Kinder area and back for an evening in the Ramble Inn & Nags Head . Eventually we moved out of M/C  ,to Glossop were we would hike to Hayfield and onto Edale ,which was great to find new routes and explore more . 8) :o O0
