Looking for inspiration for this year's long distance path? I have five great walking guide books to choose from. See them all on the Pocket Routes website!

Thank you Sarah, for the kind words on the guide book. It's a labour of love, and a walk very close to my heart!
It includes some practical info about how I travelled and where I stayed.
The guidebook by @LoneWalkerUK is fantastic and I can only aspire to such a level of care and detail.
This is part one of a series, more on the way soon! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did writing it.
I overdosed on heather today, on Rombalds, Ilkley and Burley Moors. Walking station to station on the Leeds - Carlisle line between Steeton and Saltaire
Used part of the #PennineWay around Gargrave on a walk today, and the pull of the path is strong. I think I need to walk it again, one last time, while I still can #NotGettingAnyYounger
I made it! The final day of my 10 year odyssey to walk the #SouthernUplandWay

It's only taken me 10 years, but I've just finished the #SouthernUplandWay - quite easily the best of all Scotland's Great Trails!
And I thought I was wet yesterday! Day 4 along the #SouthernUplandWay and I know what the inside of an otter's pocket must be like!

Day 3 along the #SouthernUplandWay - wet, wet, wet and an evening spent cooking my socks

Here's today's walk report for day 2 along the #SouthernUplandWay - being dead jammy with the weather 😁

A day late, but here's yesterday's walk report along the #SouthernUplandWay from Moffat to Scabcleugh

Now, when I finish a walk feeling knackered, I have the stats to back it up! 19 miles on the #SouthernUplandWay has taken it out of me today 😁
I checked the FAQ on the @sawyereurope website, but doesn't answer my question. I've not used the filter (SP128) for maybe three years and I probably didn't clean it properly before I stored it - will a backflush with warm water be safe enough to use it again?
Some thoughts about boots and trying a completely new brand..

Why is running so much more difficult than walking? I can walk 22 hilly miles in a day, and I can do 12 flat miles in 3 hours, but I couldn't run half a mile if my life depended on it?
They have at least quarter of a mile to get to the nearest water! Had to warn a couple of drivers to watch out for them 🦆🦆🦆
Can anyone recommend a pair of lightweight mid height, waterproof, ideally wide fitting walking boots. They can't be Salomon or Inov-8 though!
Fuck me Twitter, you really don't know me at all do you! What a bunch of cunts you've just recommended. #RIPTwitter
What a massive bellend! Instead of repeatedly making everyone's Twitter experience completely unbearable, why don't you go build a secret lair on a desert island somewhere, then lock yourself in!
