Saunton to Putsborough – South West Coast Path Walks

Putsborough Sand

To get to from Saunton to Putsborough, IMHO, is definitely a two-walk strategy.  If I’m being honest though, the main reason for two walks was actually food related.  We were given an excellent Sunday roast recommendation at the King’s Arms… Continue Reading…


Barnstaple to Braunton – South West Coast Path walks

Starting from Barnstaple once again, but this time we’re heading West and North.  And again we’re starting out walking along the River Taw toward the estuary.  I’m not going to lie, this is about 7km of very flat pavement pounding… Continue Reading…


Westward Ho! to Barnstaple – South West Coast Path Walks

SWCP and Tarka trail to Barnstaple

Allen Crags – Lake District Walks

Our first sighting of Allen Crags was this shot from Sprinkling Tarn.  In the cloud.  Not the day to make an ascent, but looking at the amazing scenery around us, definitely a reason to return.  Mr Wainwright describes Allen Crags… Continue Reading…


Seat Sandal – Lake District Walks

Grisedale Tarn from Seat Sandal

Seat Sandal is Clark’s choice.  “Let’s do something in the middle, somewhere we haven’t explored much”. Well ok then, Seat Sandal it is.  As it goes Seat Sandal is an extension of Fairfield.  A much loved horseshoe walk from Ambleside… Continue Reading…


Calf Crag – Lake District Walks

Hiking up Calf Crag in the snow

A walk up to Calf Crag gave us the perfect opportunity to walk up the Far Easdale valley.  This is a valley we had admired from both sides.  From our walk up to Gibson Knott and Helm Crag, and then… Continue Reading…
