Life On The Edge

Image
Blencathra via Sharp Edge, Mungrisdale Common and Bannerdale Crags  Parking:There's a car park just off the A66 at Scales next to the White Horse Pub. Some on road parking and there's also a small car park fit for about 6 cars further along the road to the left of the main car park near to Comb Beck. Pub:The White Horse Inn at Scales is ideally located to finish this walk. Camping:Burns Farm Camp Site Sharp Edge. Possibly only trumped as being the Lakes most well known ridge route by Striding Edge on Helvellyn. It's a Grade 1 scramble meaning you'll be using your hands and feet as well as your backside for some parts! "Sharp Edge is a rising crest of naked rock of sensational and spectacular appearance, a breaking wave carved in stone. The crest itself is sharp enough for shaving (the former name was Razor Edge) and can be traversed only at risk of some damage to tender parts" That was Wainwrights description of the ridge. It's a notorious hot ...

My Top 10 Favourite Lake District Fells So Far (Plus An Honourable Mention)

Image
I've no trips up to the Lakes planned for the next couple of weeks or so at least so I've decided to fill a gap in the blog by briefly revisiting some older walks (you'll be able to tell from the picture quality of some of them!) and compile my Top 10 favourite fells/walks. I was going to start from number ten and work down to number one, but, when reviewing each one I decided that I liked each for different reasons and found it hard to split them. Some walks were hard, the weather was particularly nice, technical aspects or I just had good company on them so I've decided to list them in no particular order. There's an honorable mention to a none Lake District mountain at the end too just for good measure and because there's a nice story behind it. Coniston Old Man Parking: Walna Scar Car Park Pubs: Numerous in Coniston. The Sun, Black Bull, The Ship Inn, Crown Inn. Camping: Coniston Hall Campsite It's a steady climb from Walna Scar Car Park b...

Social Media and Blog Update

This is just a quick post to update the Blog which I've sadly neglected for over a year. It was my intention when I started the Blog for it to my main outlet where I shared all things hiking including my walking routes, Wainwright tally, news, gear and reveiws. However, soon after setting up the Blog, I set up accounts on Twitter (well, started using it and changed name to match this Blog) and on Instagram in order to promote and help the Blog gain attention. I wasn't expecting for it to completely take over and quickly become my main outlet aswell as putting me in touch with a whole massive online hiking community with a wealth of knowledge across the board. It's offered me lots of oppurtunities to get out on hikes with a host of different people and helped show me lots of fantastic areas to hike I might otherwise have missed. I've also had the oppurtunity to work with various brands involved in the hiking world from across various fields such as food, clothing, ap...
