If you could only do one walk.

I would walk to the bottom of my childhood garden and sit and talk to mam and dad.

Our long garden backed on to another one. If I went to the end of our garden the boy who lived behind us was sometimes playing out.
He taught me a lot of swear words.
He was called Christopher and his mother thought he was a little angel. 😇

Thank you all.

I have loved reading about all your walks, I have done a number of the ones mentioned, Buttermere crops up a lot, I love that walk.

We go to stay at our apartment in Ripon for a few days on Thursday so weather permitting we will be out again, I think the shawl Leyburn up to Castle Bolton via Wensley and of course the 7 bridges Fountains Abbey will be on the agenda, recommendation’s always welcome.

I thank the Lord for the ability to be able to hike.
For those not so mobile to remember the beautiful walks and the company you shared is so precious.

Finally to the poster who sent me a nasty private message regarding the spelling of a Welsh Mountain, it was not my post and how you could go through such a gentle non contentious thread looking for fault then send such a horrible message?

Shame on you.

How horrible!

I live on the Welsh/English border and can't spell some of the Welsh place names.

I didn't mean to take away from your post, Purplepixie.
Yes, many happy memories of our garden too, a small house but a very long garden!

The bottom of our garden was just beyond my Dad's vegetable garden so I was hidden by his bean rack when I ventured that far.

Allira I found the same when we lived in Shropshire!

It’s also often autocorrect as a popular surname Snowdon is likely to be corrected to Snowden’s

Anyway who cares?

A lovely thread where we have reminisced should not be spoiled by a pedant.

I think we may do Askrigg to Bolton Castle on Sunday, I actually love the limewash of the Norman church tower in Askrigg, though I’m aware it’s been very controversial!

For anyone not in the know.

I wish I could still climb Mynydd Pen-y-fâl.
The Sugarl Loaf to those who might not know 😀

Last time we did, a sheep came and shared our picnic.

Ooh 😲

Just done the 7 Bridges walk and up through Fountains Abbey.

The photo is the Temple of Piety.

Beautiful day no sun but still.

Walking around Walsall Arboretum isn't bad either.

That’s beautiful Kate.

Nothing like a Sunday walk.

Buttermere circular walk

Same here! Have done this so many times over the years.Now older I just wish there was another cafe at the farm end, halfway for a rest and a drink.DP isn’t one for resting and likes to push on.

My husband and I loved walking in the Lakes, lots of favourites.
Tarn How’s from Hawkshead
Buttermere circular
Catbells
Langdale Pike
Ferry from Glenridding to either Howtown or Pooley Bridge and walk back
but loved going from Near Sawrey, passed Blea Tarn to Claife Heights coming back to Far Sawrey and lunch at Cuckoo Brow Inn or Tower Bank Arms.
I miss those walks with him!

Yes Sago. It's a lovely place. Huge and in the centre of Walsall which is pretty rundown really. The arboretum has miles of walks, lakes, streams, tennis courts, playground, small water splash area for children, picnic tables and benches, a cheap cafe and more. No I don't work for Walsall Tourism!

Cornish coast path from Mawgan Porth to Bedruthan steps and beyond with a stop at the NT cafe for refreshments.
