Leaving The Crowds Behind- A Brilliant Wild Camp At Great Moss
Having not wild camped for many months, I was both excited and nervous about heading out again on my own for a night under canvas. I needn't have worried. Eskdale was my location of choice and the views blew me away from the start.
I continued to follow the tumbling Esk River until I reached The Great Moss- a wild and remote plateau surrounded by high mountains. What a location it is! I pitched up by the river and didn't see another person the entire time even on a Saturday evening in August. The best sleep in months was enjoyed and it was just a wonderful experience. Well worth the uphill slog.

Lake Swimming & Road Cycling In The Lake District
Переглядів 121Місяць тому
While in The Lakes, I decided to get some good triathlon training in. I started with a wetsuit swim in Crummock Water, which offered clear water and great conditions for a dip. After a much needed feed, it was then onto the road bike to complete a brilliant circular route, which saw me doing battle with the savage gradients on Honister Pass.
Winter Camping And Hiking In Glencoe

After battling knee deep snow in The Cairngorms, myself and my mate Jack headed across to Glencoe to see in the new year. We would base ourselves on an amazing campsite, which even had its own food van. A haggis burger goes down very well indeed on a long cold December night! New Years Day saw us taking on an amazing hike around Glen Etive. The views were incredible. Snowy mountains, deer and i...

A Stunning Circular Hike To Mosedale Cottage Bothy

What a varied and amazing hike this was. Parking by Haweswater, I started by following The Old Corpse Road. As the name suggests, this was a route that used to be used to transport the dead across the hills so that they could be buried in hallowed ground. From here I continued to wild and remote moorland, where Mosedale Cottage was finally reached and explored. Finally, I entered a more rugged ...

    I will stick to the good old Vango Banshee 200. Ive had that for a decade now , quick to put up and just right for one person. I tried other types of tents, but for the price it is such a strong reliable tent. Big plus for me is that you can open it either side. Don't like the enclosed feeling of a tunnel tent. But if it works for you great.

    I was at this beach only a couple of weeks ago - I find the salty sea air perfect to help me breathe on the days when my Hay Fever is off the scale. It's rather frightening how much this stretch has changed in the last two years, but erosion is a constant battle (which some places along the East Anglian coast are sadly losing). It's worth noting that East Anglia has the lowest rainfall in the UK so the signs against camps, fires etc are for your own protection as the coastal fauna of bracken can easily become tinder dry and if there's an easterly wind off the North Sea - fire would sweep inland for some miles very quickly. You mention you are a Geography teacher, an one of the wildest things I can never get my head around is that this stretch of coastland was once linked to mainland Europe.
