Hips, trips, training and getting kids outside!
A circular walk in Huddersfield chosen by Mr Hip2trek! Approx 6.5 km, starting from the Castle Hill car park, all the details at the bottom of the post. A walk for three as the eldest decided that a) walking with us wasn’t cool and b) he had a sudden urge to do some revision for…
Surely you can’t call yourself a proper lover of hiking/walking if you haven’t been to the Lake District. 18 years or so after our, rather wet, last visit it was time to go back! With a bank holiday, a long weekend was planned, with exploring and walking. I was looking forward to bagging at least…
The singing ringing tree is a sculpture, made from galvanised steel pipes, that sits on crown point overlooking Burnley, Lancashire. This post is for accountability that we actually went for a walk and I practised what I preach, to get outside for your wellbeing. Why? Because in all honesty we did take rather a holistic…
Getting outside with the family was top of the list for a recent weekend outing. The circular walk from Low Bradfield to High Bradfield sounded to be just what we needed. I’ve just finished my first clinical placement as a student physio. Whilst I did get outside, standing outside patients’ houses in your ‘bare below…
A Stanage Edge walk in the Peak District – Hills, rocks and a vineyard The car wound its way around another hairpin bend, the driver hitting the throttle coming out of the corner and again, on the brakes as they reached another. “EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE” was heard from inside the car. This wasn’t some off road rallying,…
We finally made it on the Hewenden Viaduct walk, a family walk I had been itching to try for ages. It was rather more adventurous than I had anticipated and so I have given several options at the bottom of the post for those with little legs, who prefer wheels or don’t like the idea…
This Embsay reservoir walk is a great little walk if you’ve tiny people, or those who can’t walk far. Although there is plenty of land to explore above the reservoir too, including Embsay Crag. In case you’re feeling more adventurous! I can’t remember where we were in restrictions at this point, but I remember taking…
I was so excited to go for a walk near Marsden at Pule Hill. We try and go for a walk to welcome in the new year, last year visiting Hackfall woods for a festive walk. Obviously, the Christmas celebrations were rather different this year. A walk in Marsden has been on the list for…
I have been neglecting my blog a little these past few months. A combination really of, well you know what, and my uni course has been keeping me in front of the computer. It hasn’t felt right to be promoting the great outdoors when not everyone can go out and enjoy it. I have been…
Are you in need of walks in the trees? Do you think it’s an ‘Autumn thing’ or with everything going on do people just need to connect with nature? I certainly needed a tree kind of walk this weekend. I would have loved to have gone to a forest, but with the new tier system…
