2011 Walking Trip in Northern England: A Beautiful Day in Ambleside, June 3
http://r-e-walk-dales-way-lake-district.blogspot.com/2011/06/beautiful-day-in-ambleside-june-3.html
Our 2011 walking trip in northern England. Friday, June 3, 2011. A Beautiful Day in Ambleside, June 3. I really wish we were able to hike up a fell or pike today, the weather was great, perhaps a bit warm in the sun while climbing a hill, but as they say here “brilliant”. We made our way to the town of Ambleside at the north end of Windermere, one of the largest lakes in England. The people of the UK are much more adventurous than the average person in the US (just my opinion). It has some cheesy shops, ...

2011 Walking Trip in Northern England: Great Langdale Sunshine
http://r-e-walk-dales-way-lake-district.blogspot.com/2011/06/great-langdale-sunshine.html
Our 2011 walking trip in northern England. Thursday, June 2, 2011. At the Old Dungeon Ghyll Hotel, Great Langdale. Today, our route took us to the Great Langdale Valley for our stay at the Old Dungeon Ghyll Hotel in the higher fells and pikes of the Lake District. The hotel has been located here for 300 years, they say…. The “U” shaped Great Langdale valley is perhaps 5 miles long, and surrounded by peaks as high as 3500’ in elevation. Today, the weather turned sunny and warm finally, what a change.

2011 Walking Trip in Northern England: Looking back on our trip, adding a merged photo album
http://r-e-walk-dales-way-lake-district.blogspot.com/2011/06/looking-back-on-our-trip-while-adding.html
Our 2011 walking trip in northern England. Sunday, June 19, 2011. Looking back on our trip, adding a merged photo album. River Wharfe, sunny spell on the way to Burnsall. The upper reaches of Wharfedale after a shower. Photography, as I practice it, does not fully convey the feeling of gray, soggy days in a way to make the viewer really feel as we did. But that soggy day hiking up boggy trails does lead to our happy stay for the night, even those days are to be celebrated. London, June 5.

Our 2011 walking trip in northern England. Tuesday, May 31, 2011. Coniston in the Lake District, May 31. Coniston, and Coniston Water as seen from "the rock". We had a quick taxi ride this morning. To our new stay in Coniston, a town on the edge of a lake (Coniston Water), and the edge of the more rugged hills and fells of the southern Lake District. E stayed in to recover, I took off up the hill to the west to have a look and take some photos. Lolled around in the room again. Walking to Higher Places in...

Wye Valley Walk: Train Travel to London
http://wyevalleywalk.blogspot.com/2012/06/train-travel-to-london.html
Our walking Trip along the River Wye - 2012. Wednesday, June 6, 2012. Train Travel to London. I have some catch-up to do. On Tuesday, we took the train to Liverpool - convenient and comfy. Toured The Beatles Story museum - quite good but a little too much minutia for me (do we really need to see a reconstruction of the newspaper office that first publicized the Beatles? The train back to Chester was easy. We ate salads in our room watching SpringWatch. Our hotel in London (Th Kensington House Hotel) is w...

Wye Valley Walk: May 2012
http://wyevalleywalk.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Our walking Trip along the River Wye - 2012. Thursday, May 31, 2012. Newbridge-on-Wye to Rhayader, May 31. We enjoyed the best. Today we had a much cooler start to our walk – more of what we are used to, walking in the UK – and it made for comfortable walking through fields of sheep and buttercups. A very fine, light mist turned into a more steady light rain, but rather than putting a damper (ha! Gortex jackets are remarkable.). It was a big “people” day. Human Being Watch – 10! 1 mailman (we see a mailm...

Wye Valley Walk: Our Last Day on the Wye Valley Walk, June 2
http://wyevalleywalk.blogspot.com/2012/06/our-last-day-on-wye-valley-walk-june-2.html
Our walking Trip along the River Wye - 2012. Sunday, June 3, 2012. Our Last Day on the Wye Valley Walk, June 2. I was pooped after yesterday's 12 miles and pooped just thinking about today's 12.25 miles. But, it is our last day! I have shin splints from the steep descent yesterday - hoping to power through today with minimal pain.). In general, The Wye Valley Walk is much more rural and wild than other walks we've done - villages and hamlets are fewer and farther between, some days, there are none at all.
