Due to various reasons I didn't get much walking done in December and January; however this has now been rectified by two walks over the last week! Last Sunday I had a surprisingly enjoyable walk from Stockport to Manchester along an old railway line and the towpath of the Ashton Canal with
John and Viv. And yesterday I had a excellent day in the Shropshire Hills meeting new people :) Write-ups of these walks will appear at some point in the next week or so, i.e. when I get round to it!
After the disappointment of not getting onto this year's TGO Challenge, I've been starting to make some alternative plans for the spring instead. Currently I'm thinking of doing a spot of Munro bagging in the Central Highlands & Cairngorms, together with a trip to Arran. There'll be some backpacking too; maybe a bit more of the Offa's Dyke Path and hopefully another trip to the highlands to bag the hills in the photo below:

Ah, a round tuit....I've got some of those too!

Indeed I do too - In fact I have a cupboard full of them ;)
DeleteI'm doing the Offa's Dyke path this year, very much looking forward to it! Any hints and tips on the bits you've done so far?
ReplyDeleteOf the five days I've done so far, I'd saw my favourite two are the two either side of Llandegla (the Clwydian hills and the Eglwyseg valley).
DeleteAre you planning on doing it all in one go or in several sections? I travelled home from Llandegla after two days and the taxi from there to Wrexham was pretty pricey!
