This month I have finally decided to do it again. I am of course talking about the Three Peaks of Yorkshire walking challenge! This means it will be my third attempt and this time I cannot fail

Something very interesting and uplifting is happening out in the Dales and I almost stumbled upon it by chance. Last Summer I joined a new walking group called Onna Walks with which I used to walk every Tuesday evening. As you can imagine, come winter time we had to stop unless we wanted to walk with …
Originally named ‘Wainwright’s Way’, Alfred Wainwright’s ‘Coast To Coast Walk’ (as it is now called), crosses England from the west coast in Cumbria, through into North Yorkshire and the Yorkshire Dales and on into the North York Moors right to the east coast.
