Default Hiking

My hobbies also in clued hiking and I love to get out and have a good long hike in any weather. (rain, snow or shine)
Absolutely freezing fog when I got up this morning, when hiking to the Yorkshire dales Malham Cove
It was a fantastic day, very cold, breezy & crisp, but well worth the hike and sights.
The sun was out most the day and views were a breath taking picture so clear with a few low cloud in parts, I try to go hiking when I get a chance on my days off it’s a lovely way to un-wind and relax in its own way.

If I was so inclined I could have a seven mile hike to my allotment! Only did it once and the thought of hiking back meant I got very little work done!

There's nothing the Terrierists like better than a good ramble round Snowdonia no matter what the weather is like. I'll be wrapped up in my winter gear and the dogs will be splashing through ice cold mountain streams thoroughly oblivious to the cold. I want to be a dog!

seven miles snadger that is a fair way from home to lottie - i am lucky mine is a one minute walk i visit twice a day to see to chooks, bit scarey putting them to bed in dark on days i get home late though

I used to live in yorkshire and went to malham cove on a school trip, went twice hiking stayed at linton, kettlewell, and malham youth hostels both times - great fun played rounders in the middle of nowhere

I love Malham, although I don't get there as often as I'd like. There's a couple of great 'tea shoppe's' too
This is what it looks like (pic piched from Malham Cove, Malhamdale, Limestone Pavements, Yorkshire Dales)

I walk my dogs daily when I'm home but I'm afraid that after 23 years in the army being "encouraged" to go hiking on a regular basis I now have a real aversion to it.
I did walk up a massive sand dune the other day though, just cos it was there. Will try and upload a photo later today, as it was quite a sight, sand as far as the eye can see.
