Date: 24th May 2020; Distance: 8.8 miles (14.2km); Ascent: 418m; Time: 2hrs 53min Just a short one today and the weather certainly isn't as nice as it was last week.

Loop of Kinder
Date: 20th May 2020 Distance: 17.9 miles (28.8km); Ascent: 639m; Time: 6hrs 45min I managed to re-arrange my day off to the day when the weather was expected to be around 25 degrees and I cancelled my online yoga session.

Black Ashop Moor & Kinder Loop
Date: 8th May 2020 Distance: 13.56 miles (22km); Ascent: 676m; Time: 4hrs 59min We've done a few long walks since we've been under lockdown due to Covid-19 and the Ashop Valley & Alport Moor walk has been one of our favourites as it's a route less travelled.

Glossop Circular Walk
Distance: 14.3 miles (23km); Ascent: 613m; Time: 5hrs 40min We’ve not been for a walk for a while as we’ve been so busy so, after a late night (well, an early morning actually) following a house-warming party, we decided to put on our boots and head out to the hills to blow away the cobwebs.… Continue reading Glossop Circular Walk
Peak District Loop from Glossop (Kinder, Chinley Churn, Hayfield, Lantern Pike)
August 23rd Distance: 20.2 miles We're lucky to live right on the edge of the Peak District in Glossop. We're surrounded by loads of gorgeous countryside and walks so whenever we get the chance, we put on our hiking boots and get up in the hills. We don't even have to get in the car… Continue reading Peak District Loop from Glossop (Kinder, Chinley Churn, Hayfield, Lantern Pike)
Cairn Toul – Braeriach Traverse (Cairngorms)
June 18th 2014 Distance: 23.4 miles; Ascent: 1,820m We don't often get up to Scotland (other than me for work on at least a monthly basis) but we love it, so when Tim's daughter passed her degree at Dundee University, it was the perfect excuse to incorporate her graduation with a week's holiday. Tim started his… Continue reading Cairn Toul – Braeriach Traverse (Cairngorms)
