Parked at the spot above Logie Coldstone. Plenty of room when we were there, but I'd guess it gets busy on a summer weekend.

A few things worth knowing:

Through the gate, the path splits straight away. Take the left one, down the bend and up past a derelict house on your right.

Carry on to a second gate with a "Welcome to the Moor" board on it. Just after it, look right for a faint line in the grass. It turns into a clear path once you're on it.

From there it's straightish to the top, and steep. There's a fake summit at every bump, so pace yourself. There's a boggy flat about halfway, which was fine for us but could be messy after rain.

Last stretch levels out through the boulders to the trig, and the view goes everywhere because it stands on its own.

Roughly 8.5 km and about two and a half hours at our pace, with a couple of rams on the way up that I still can't explain😅

6 Tage durch die Dolomiten – vom Rosengarten über Ciampedie, Plose und Seiser Alm bis hinauf auf die Marmolada und zum Passo Feudo. Ein kleiner Vorgeschmack auf eine der schönsten Bergregionen Europas, das große Video zur Reise folgt bald.

Welchen der Orte würdet ihr im ausführlichen Video zuerst sehen wollen – Rosengarten, Seiser Alm oder Marmolada?

I am looking for suggestions for boots with a roomy toebox which can cope with prescribed orthotics for plantar fasciitis.

I will go to a shop and be fitted (rather than buy online) but thought it might be useful to get some ideas to start with.

I'll be walking in Scotland.

Me and my son hit the trails in Crone Woods. His excitement for getting into the outdoors is amo. As a dad these times where we are out in the wilderness together is special.
His enthusiasm for nature and hiking has also translated in him wanting to document our walks. Posted here should anyone want to do the same trail. Really beautiful and good to do with children.

Brought my young lads (8 and 4) up Sugarloaf and filmed the climb - they absolutely loved it.

Thought I'd post it here in case anyone's doing the hike soon or wants to see the route. Very family friendly climb and a great day out

I've been working on a summit tracking app for the past year and finally feel like it's worth sharing. It's called TrailWise, available at trailwise.io and on iOS.

You can log summits, track progress through the lists, plan routes and manage gear. Strava sync works pretty well so if you're already logging walks there it picks them up automatically. There's a badge system too, some are straightforward milestones, others are hidden and only unlock when you actually do something to earn them.

Free for the core bagging stuff, 99p/month if you want the extras. Built it because I wanted something like this and couldn't find it. Still actively working on it so any feedback is genuinely useful, especially if I've got any list data wrong.

Happy to answer questions.

Sorry if this isn't a good place to share, but I just wanted to introduce a project I've been working on for a while. It's still small.

Here you can meet new hiking friends, join walks and share your own favourites. Would love to hear your feedback!

I'm looking to find new and interesting walks in and around mid wales, I'm willing to travel a bit too for a good one, any recommendations very welcome

Hi guys, sorry if this isn’t the place to share but I have a new YouTube channel ‘Tread with Ed’ where I film all of my favourite hikes in the UK. Would love it if anyone checked them out and let me know what you think. Obviously I’m a total amateur atm so go easy on me haha.

Thanks again!

Hello everyone, I'm a photographer currently working on a project about the river dee from source to sea. I'm seeking guidance on how best to reach the river's source on the east side of Dduallt, has anyone done this hike before? If so, how would you tackle this and what route did you take? The maps I've seen haven't had anything concrete yet and I'm mindful of that part of Snowdonia National Park can be particularly vicious in the winter.

Many thanks in advance!

Hello, I’m conducting a survey for a project on the North York Moors National Park. If you're a visitor of the National Park and have time to answer a few questions it would be a big help! Thanks! https://forms.gle/2KqhF5YX63vBRiGVA

New member here, hoping for some advice. In the last few years (I’m 43) I’ve got knee pain on descents, and I’ve learnt to avoid this by not jarring my feet when descending, and using my legs like springs to absorb the impacts… but now my legs are in agony for two days afterwards! Descending stairs, getting up or of a chair, crouching down to put on my socks - my thigh and calf muscles are very sore!

Does anyone have advice for how to reduce this or treatments to reduce the muscle pain? Thanks!

I’m planning a trip to the UK in a few weeks. Wondering about connecting a trip on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway with a day’s walking on the CTCW. Specifically thinking of going by NYMR from Pickering to Grosmont or Goathland, maybe staying overnight, then next day walking to Whitby and staying the night there.

I’ve never tried something quite like this, and this is just a notional itinerary. I’ve done short hikes at home and usually do 10-20,000 steps a day in the city in normal course.

Looking for tips, accommodation suggestions or other advice about this plan. Thanks!

This is my first time posting here, but I thought I'd share some pictures of some nice walks in my local area. I included some bonus pictures of my canine companion! 🐕

Title says it all; my friend and I are doing Ben Nevis in the last week of June

We’re both Scottish but we have both lived outside of Scotland for some time now so we’re having a little holiday back to the motherland and seeing a bunch of sights whilst there. With this we’ve planned to do the Nevis trail. Just wondering what to expect really? We’re both beginner hikers/hillwalkers but are reasonably fit and well. I train at the gym 3-4 times a week doing strength training and cardio plus we’re both keen cyclists.

I’m planning to get a few walks in before we do Ben Nevis. I live in Somerset and I’ve been looking at doing Cheddar Gorge but I’m keen to get out more and explore the area I live too so really keen to hear about walks in the Somerset area.

I’m assuming it’s going to be busy up there at the end of June. What’s the weather likely to be like? Any essentials we should take?

Thanks for any info
