As British Summer Time ends, it’s time to admire a monument to someone who tried to make it all happen.
My favourite Lake District fell? How on earth do you decide?I have a feeling that trying to do so, really is just the route to madness.

Walking is what it's all about. Well this site anyway.
So delve on in and read the journeys I've taken on various long distance routes in the United Kingdom, by selecting a walk below:
The Mountains of BritainWhere are the mountains of Britain? It seemed like a good time to try and find out.
Three Men In a Boat (To Say Nothing of Another Writer Reading It For Bits He Could Quote In His Own Work)Quotes from JK Jerome that I nearly used when writing up my own Thames Path journey. But ultimately didn’t.
Not in FochabersToday I was due to wake up in the village of Fochabers, in the north of Scotland. With some friends, we’d breakfast then head out to walk our second day on the Speyside Way. Disappointingly it was not to be.
At the end of the Yorkshire Wolds Way – and the start of the Cleveland WayA delightful stone monument with a seaside view.

One of the best things about walking is all the great views you get to see. So why not head off on a photographic tour of the walks I've been on?
Waterproofs, rucksacks, tents and all sorts of other stuff that you may want to equip yourself with when you head out.
Across Britain are a network of long distance footpaths and trails. Rambling Man is a website dedicated to telling the tales of one Andrew Bowden as he walks some of those paths.
