I’ve just plotted my walk electronically for the first time. I noticed I could do it on the Ordinance Survey app I already had for storing electronic versions of the physical maps I own (as you get a digital copy code with OS Maps) & finally got around to trying it.

One of my regular local routes is approx 11.75km/7.3 miles & the other is approx 9.8km/6.1 miles.

Great to finally know. I had taken a pedometer to measured my step count for them before, but this is much more useful. 🚶‍♂️

Highlights from today’s penultimate section of the #LadyAnnesWay. #KirkbyStephen to #Appleby. A difficult day, but not for the reasons expected. Left foot started giving me problems an hour into the walk. Really sharp pain. Took some painkillers and kept walking. Worked, but conscious of the fact this was only a stopgap solution. Will have to monitor.

Best views of the walk are behind me at this point. Impetus to plan for my next one I guess.

Second half of the day was an absolute misery. The pictures are deceptive. As soon as I got to the valley floor I found the ground wet, muddy, saturated in sheep and cow poo. The signage was lacking. The trail vanished from view half the time. At some point I gave up and walked along a road running parallel to the trail, then realised I didn’t want to do this all the rest of the Way, and decided to grin and bear it, which I did.

Today was some of the best hiking this trip, but also some of the worst. Let’s start with the best. Right out of Hawes I had a climb up to 550m, which was exhausting, but first thing in the morning is when you want to do these things, when you have energy. Weather stayed clear and actually improved as the day progressed. Some stunning views down and across the valley.

Highlights from today’s walk on the #LadyAnnesWay from #Buckden to #Hawes in the #YorkshireDales. Another misty morning, and as a result missed out on some supposedly impressive views coming down from Stake Moss outside Buckden, but there you go. Weather remained overcast all the rest of the day, which at least made for cooler walking.

Highlights from yesterday’s walk on the #LadyAnnesWay from #Grassington to #Buckden in the #YorkshireDales. Really misty as I began my climb just outside Grassington. Might have been a little intimidating if I hadn’t done Ben Nevis back in 2022 in worse.

“The River Tay Way is a proposed new, linear long-distance route with separate designated routes for cycling and walking being developed by Perth and Kinross Countryside Trust.“

Great concept in principle.

On a walk this week from Brentwood to Shenfield we found the foot path almost lost in this huge field of wheat, which to this townie eye looks ripe and ready to harvest.
