Walking

My last post turned into thinking about walking, I need to stop thinking and actually get out there. I will be over the next 4 days:
Saturday - Sunderland Bridge - Witton-le-wear
Sunday - Wolsingham Adopt-a-path walk
Monday - Witton-le-wear - White Kirkley
Tuesday - White Kirkley - Westgate

Sunday I'm not walking the Weardale way because my dad is walking with a friend and he wants to walk it with me, so I'm going to do my Adopt-a-path walk in Wolsingham. I had thought about walking along the cliffs by Scarborough but its supposed to be windy and I could do with saving the petrol money. I will complete the Weardale Way the following Saturday from Westgate to Killhope.

After the Weardale Way I am going to start on the Wainrights, for anyone reading this and wondering what the hell a Wainright is. Alfred Wainwright wrote several books covering the fells/hills of the lake district (214). They have become known as the Wainwrights after him. This year is the Centenary of Alfred Wainwrights birth and I think it would be good to walk all 214 this year, I have already walked some of them, but probably only about 20-30 if that. I bought a book that breaks them down into 30 odd walks but I wont just follow those because they are generally day walks and I am hoping to do several weekend wildcamps which should save me money on petrol and give a much better experience sleeping among them.

I will have to go some though to complete them this year with everything else I'm doing. There are several other walks I would like to do this year. I am already planning the West Highland Way in May possibly ending it by walking Ben Nevis via the CMD Arete. I am also doing the North Yorkshire 3 Peaks, need to do Snowdon and Buachaille Etive More (gorgeous mountain) and I have a Northumberland Coastal Walk in my calendar.

Besides for the stuff I have already planned there are lots of others I have long term:
Every mountain over 2000 feet in England and Wales
Welsh Three Thousanders in 24 hours
The Mamores
Great Glen Way
Rob Roy Way
Wainwrights Coast to Coast
Pennine Way
Cleveland Way
Hadrians Wall Path
Offa Dyke Trail

There are loads more but I think I need to retire now to give me the time. I have many long distance walks I would like to create and complete besides for names routes.
