The transition to the Dark Peak is up ahead, but sadly the White to Dark doesn’t get Silly.
White to Dark Day 1 – Bakewell to LittonI set forth from Bakewell, see an old railway line, go through a classic Peak District dale, and get rather wet.
It starts in Bakewell, but just what is the White to Dark trail?
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:
Wayfarer – the rover ticket for Manchester and the Peak District, and beyond!Wayfarer is the bus/train/tram ticket that many people in the North of England didn’t know they needed, but actually do. Especially walkers.
The Rambling Man guide to getting a holiday company to book your long distance walkWhat are walking holiday companies? What to they do? And is it worth using one?
At the start of the RidgewayMost long distance walks start somewhere convenient. Somewhere walkers can get to easily. A small town with a regular bus service. A village with a train station. That kind of thing. Not the Ridgeway though.
Which walk should I do?Every now and then, someone emails me to ask which walk they should do. Now there’s an open ended question, I think, because it totally depends on who you are and what you like. And if you fall into one these categories, you’ll find your answer here! And if you don’t fall into one of these categories, you might not.

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.
