Walking / Hiking

Started by: J3mbo (62)

Any walkers here? I've done many of the classic Lake District walks but nothing major foe quite a few years. Favourites were...

Loughrigg Terrace and Fell.
Helvellyn
Blencathra
The Fairfield Horshshoe
The Kentmere Horseshoe
The Langdale Pikes

Does/has anyone done this sort of thing? Anything in the North West. Any recommendations for anything a bit less strenuous than the above?

Have you tried walking along the Leeds-Liverpool Canal ? Pretty flat except for the Bingley 5 rise locks section. Easy to get to if you wanted to do it in sections. Took the train to Leeds and walked back to Wigan, took about a week with side trips, camped out but you could do B&B's because apart from the stretch over the Pennines, you're never far from civilisation.

I've done bits. All of it from Adlington to Scarisbrick and a few other small sections. May ponder on some more thanks
