Northern Trek

Just got back from the most amazing few days hiking The Nidderdale Way - a 56mile (85km) circular walk from Pateley Bridge in The Yorkshire Dales, England. STUNNING!

Highlights include Brimham Rocks, Ripley Castle, Gouthwaite Reservoir and the meandering sound of River Nidd.

4 days hiking through some of Yorkshire’s finest.
My mate Mike and I just loved it. Plenty of B&B’s and places to eat in Pateley Bridge too (love me a full English on a walking day 🤣). Laughter and a pint of Yorkshire’s finest beer at the end of each day made it even better!

Have any of you done it?? I’d give it a 10/10 🥾🥾

After retiring early, Christina, a.k.a. 'Hiker Sheep', set herself the challenge of walking every national trail in the UK

Hi from one of my favourite places (especially for birding!) Norfolk! Have had some fantastic days walking along the beach - particularly loved this spot in Wells with the beach huts! Any beaches walks you think I’d love?
