Many years ago I did the Loughrigg terrace and coffin route walk. I read your walk of the area and decided to go again. The pictures reminded me of the route and off we went. Fabulous day out and thanks for writing about it and inspiring me to go back.

What a beautiful study of coastal birds at Bempton Andrew! Thanks a lot. We were up at Thornwick Bay a year ago. It's lovely in that area.

Andrew, thanks again for one of the best rambling websites I have come across. Our Geology group followed the Millington Pastures walk today and it was a perfect guide to our route. Excellent combination of maps, video and photos to check you are on the correct route.

Thanks Andrew for your great guides. We followed one of your older guides up Castle Crag and did it on 18th June, so really surprised to see that you also did it again on the 18th. A lovely day for it, who knows maybe our paths crossed. Keep walking 😊

It was lovely meeting you both on this walk, (Mellbreak) thank you for taking our photo Andrew. It was extremely warm on this day but worth all the toil.

Hello, Andrew. You are one of the nature and bird photographers who I follow on Twitter. Today I saw the tweet you posted titled: Robin on the same branch in spring, summer, autumn and winter. Do you have a website from which I can order a copy of these four photos? I would love to print and frame them for my home. I have a metal sculpture of an English robin which my grandmother gave me. It is among my treasures, as you would imagine. This grandmother showed me the wonder of birds when our family lived with her in my early years. She always fed the birds, read to us about them and taught us to recognize the birds who came to enjoy her garden Thank you for posting that perfect quartet of photos. Sincerely, Elaine Moon Balsam

Hi Andrew, Just love the startling clarity of your photos, especially the birds with a blurred out background. I also love the fact that the forward/backward arrow on the photos enables one to flick straight to the next full size picture without the need to scroll down the page. Great site - love it.

it was a wonderful to come across your website this evening with so many beautiful photographs of the walks that you followed from my Cicerone guide The Mountains of Ronda and Grazalema. Many thanks for the thumbs up. I wonder if you have come across the GR-141 and the GR-243? These are two short, GR trails that both begin in Ronda and can be completed in a week of walking. And both are wonderful. The GR-141 describes a 6 day loop south of Ronda via the Genal and Guadiaro valley, in six stages. The GR-243 is a linear trail that begins in Ronda and ends in Istán, passing through some of the most beautiful parts of La Sierra de las Nieves. Both routes can be covered in 6 days of walking, meaning that these are two complete trails than can be covered in the span of a week's holiday from the UK. If you plan to return to the Ronda mountains I'd be delighted to provide you with walking notes for the route. ATvB from the Ronda mountains, Guy 🙂

I moved up to Cumbria with my boyfriend at the beginning of March last year from London as the pandemic was hitting to live with my mum. We'd been spending the odd weekend in Cumbria before that but we've now been up here for a full year. We started following your routes last summer in the Lake District and downloaded the OS app soon after. In November, we found a glorious route of yours along the ridge to the west of Buttermere and it was half way up the pretty steep ascent that we got engaged! This year, we've become totally hooked! Every weekend, we find an Andrew's Walks route and either on Saturday or Sunday we go Wainwright bagging. We reached our half century last weekend and just love it! I just wanted to say a huge thank you for all the energy, detail, photos and maps you add to each of your routes. We have both fallen in love with walking in the Lake District and so much of this is thanks to you!
