You just can’t beat a clear September day in the fells. The latest Seathwaite walk took me right back to Bolton Wakes Week when I was a little girl camping in the Cumbrian dales

My wife and I enjoy your walks so much that we got engaged on one of them and spent our honeymoon doing half-a-dozen of the others! We are so grateful to you for making such an easy-to-use site with the important information and useful pictures immediately to hand. Yours is the yardstick by which other walking websites are judged, although there is no competition. Thank you again for sharing your experiences and please keep it up! With very best wishes from a happy couple.

Many thanks indeed Andrew for the lovely walk around Wastwater today. My wife and I were not able to ascend the mountains due to adverse weather, so this walk was a great replacement.

Hi Andrew
Happy memories of spring times in the Lake District, West and East, with you and Gilly !
I enjoy infinite power of nature through your lovely photographs you use to post on your web site. I do like the way of describing and documenting your trips in England, Canada and more recently in Austria...
Amazing ! All your reports, photographs, panoramas make all the montains, countryside, gardens, castles, churches, forests, seasides... very, very attractive, after what you have just shown and described the places you make to want to visit them. Thank you so much for sharing here some parts of the beauty of the world from your eyes, experience and adventures

What a superb web site that I’ve referred to many a time over the years, it’s comprehensive and the excellently taken naturalistic photos give a really good flavour of what to expect on a walk. You can tell you have a passion for documenting your trips. Your site has inspired many of walk and even to record my own adventures. Thanks for your efforts it’s much appreciated

Hey Andrew - just a quickie to let you know how important your site is to me - it's always my first place to go to for walks in the Lake District. I've recently moved here (after visiting for many years) and slowly but surely ticking off the Wainwrights, most of them done from your wonderful GPX downloads. You've collected a magnificent catalogue of walks here, and this middle aged man with dodgy knees is very thankful. Good work mate, and thanks.

Hi Andrew - thanks for your account of the Romantig Weg Manlichen to Alpiglen. Was not sure how to proceed from Alpiglen but now that I know there's a cog wheel to Kleine Scheidig, I feel prepared. Can't wait to experience it. Happy travels, Claire

Hi Andrew, I just wanted to thank you for posting the Lingmoor Fell & Blea Tarn walk. We completed it today for my partners birthday and it was a perfect height and distance to get the ‘winter legs & lungs’ moving again. Thank you.

Hi Andrew,
I found your site whilst planning my first birding trip to Mallorca. The detailed descriptions and fantastic images have provided me with some great research material, which will help me to hit the ground running when I arrive next month. I would just like to say thank you for providing a valuable resource.
Thank you,
Neil

Stunningly beautiful pictures from your walk in the Barranco de Benchijigua. I guided many mainly British and German tourists on that walk almost weekly when I lived on La Gomera during the ninetees. It's great to take this trip down dear memory lane.

Just enjoyed the lovely little walk on Barrow. Such lovely views. Thanks Andrew. Splendid stuff as usual.
Best wishes, Sue.

I have very much enjoyed reading about your visit to Canada and looking at the super images. A trip down memory lane of my visit in 2012 and visiting Lake Louise, Vancouver and Calgary plus other stops along the way. Thanks for reminding me!
Need to go again to Canada as there's so much to see and do.

It's about 25 years ago (in May/June) that my wife and I strolled through the Muncaster castle estate. What beautiful memories your photos evoked. At that time there was an avian display - Owls at Muncaster. I wonder whether this is still active - it was an added delight then.

Dear Andrew
I just want to thank you for this beautiful treasure trove. You are so generous to share your skills, knowledge and passion like this. Your photos and descriptions fill me with joy every time I look something up.

I went to Lake District recently with my teenage son, knowing nothing about the place where our campsite had been booked. Luckily I found Andrew’s website and it helped me a lot with planning hiking. Thank you for this brilliant resource!

G'day Andrew
We've walked a lot of the Alps over the last 25 years (and we lived for 4 years in CH and AT).
So we've raided a lot of walkers' sites over that time.
And I was there at the beginnings of the Web, and have done a fair bit of web-site publishing.
I've *finally* tripped over your site because we're looking for two walks out of Neustift in Stubaital in late June.
Mate, you put me to shame - such a combination of content-, image- and presentation-quality!
Congrats!! ... Roger
P.S. One tip though: You need a bigger glass, even after a 'mere' 500m-height walk.

This is such a fabulous resource Andrew. Thanks for sharing.

Just found your site and was looking at your images for Wansfell Pike. Gorgeous. Really looking forward to visiting.

Tracey from Co Durham wrote on 10 February, 2024

I've just come across your page after spotting a lovely walk you did from Reeth. I just wanted to mention how wonderful your photos are. I live near Raby Castle so I read your account of your visit there and I particularly enjoyed looking through the photos they are stunning. The gardens are closed right now due to a massive revamp but they will be open again this year and will be very impressive. Thank you for sharing.

Loved your pictures of the walk up Aira Force. Has Penrith and District Red Squirrel group made a designated walk there? I am visiting the area in June and if so would love to go there.
