I'm fairly new to this walking lark, so I'm going to stick reasonably close to the Midlands/Cotswolds/South Wales this year.  Any suggestions for good walks (flat or hills) in these areas very welcome!

My plans are just to get out more. Hopefully a lot more.


I am looking to plan a long weekend wild camp in North Wales with the boy. A bit of a tour of derelict buildings and things, spending the nights in half collapsed halls and mansions for added atmosphere.

Question for Jac. How did you enjoy the Wessex Ridgeway? Was thinking of doing it and the others you mention. Was hoping they wouldn't be too samey. Don't think so but wondered what your impressions were?

My plans for this year is to start wild camping and also revisit Cadair Idris.


Just booked a week in Samoens in the French alps at the end of June for a week of Alpine walking with two friends.  Hoping to get up Mont Buet at some point of the week.  We are referring to it as a training camp  :)  .


It was a holiday to the Alps in summer, back in the early 80's, that gave me my love of mountains. Absolutely beautiful scenery, I wish you luck.


ps good luck on your remaining Wainwrights too  O0

I enjoyed it immensely. Walking mostly on higher ground with views and lots of prehistoric stuff (hill forts, barrows,etc) then dropping down through the fields into little villages with interesting churches and good pubs having met noone else all day really suited me. B&Bs are a bit sparse though very high standard (we found two with hot tubs!)but a bit costly.  I would have preferrred to wild camp so avoiding having to book ahead.
A lovely walk through wonderfully peaceful rural England.
So many paths yet to walk, so little time left

Thanks Tin - I'm looking forward to both!  Spent a couple of weeks in Samoens over the years - wonderful walking and a lovely town to come back to and sit in the square with a beer looking up at the mountains.  Hope you enjoy the wild camping and Cader Idris.

I have a weeks walking in Austria booked.


But am looking for something in Britain.
I have done the C2C, Cotswolds Way and the Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge.
Also have stayed in the Tan Hill Inn a couple of times and really enjoyed walking around there.
May go back again this year but am thinking I should try somewhere else.
I will only have a few days, too short to do a LDP.
So, if anyone has any suggestions for a 3 or4 day walking break in the UK, I would be very appreciative.

The High Weald Trail from Horsham to Rye. Get off the train at Horsham and start on the trail, plenty of places en route to get back on a train, e.g Tunbridge Wells. Best done I think when the cherries, apples, pears and plums are ready to eat, you can scrump all the way.

How about the Cumbria Way, you could start just north of Keswick, or from Keswick itself.

www.gps-routes.co.uk is the site I usually go to when I'm looking for inspiration or a specific mileage.
