Kinder in Spring

23.4.13Walking with; Nobody After the trials and tribulations of a windswept Lake District last week it felt good to be back on familiar ground and to, maybe, just maybe, see Spring finally beginning to stir. Kinder is my “go to” hill, close enough to have a long day out and sleep in my own bed,

A wet, wild and windy Lakeland trip

15/16/17.4.13Walking with; Nobody Illness had followed injury and I was itching to get out again and try the knee on something other than the grey, rain slick pavements of South Manchester.

First Lakeland trip of 2013

6/7.2.13Walking with; Nobody The Lake District in the snow is just about the best place to be in England so after a Monday snowfall I decided to head up there for an overnight trip staying at the Windermere YHA on the Troutbeck Road (http://www.yha.org.uk/hostel/windermere) .
