A Walker's Ramblings: September 2014
http://walkerramblings.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Thoughts on the state of the world from David Cotton. Might also include some walking. Monday, 1 September 2014. Last year was perhaps a record for coastal walkers, with several people walking the coast in one go or in sections. However the last couple of months have been fairly quiet. David Higgins finished his walk in July, meaning Peter Hill. Was left attempting the coast in one go. He can be followed on Facebook. And he has a fundraising page. The best of luck to him.

KING LUDWIG WAY – to the castles. | bowlandclimber
https://bowlandclimber.wordpress.com/2015/08/02/king-ludwig-way-to-the-castles
KING LUDWIG WAY – to the castles. Trauchgau. – Fussen. Today I am walking to his famous castles – the family one he partially lived in, Hohenschwangau. And the one he fantasized about and brought into existence, Neuschwanstein. Neuschwanstein in the distance. On through Berghof to eventually find a KLW sign pointing down a lane through the delightful little farming hamlet of Greith…. Peaceful Greith – Maybe shouldn’t have taken this photo! It gets worse …. Some of the views were spectacular…. Marie bridg...

Monthly Archives: September 2014. LE CHEMIN DE STEVENSON. DAY 12 – the last. St Etienne Vallee Francais — St. Jean du Gard. The usual French gite breakfast of coffee, bread and jam…. Our host was busy weeding in his crocus fields when we left to stroll down the road into St. Etienne V F itself. A busy little market village of narrow streets with a chateau above. The heat built up and you sensed the Med. getting closer. A steep path through some old houses brought us onto the busy main road. We caught our...

Monthly Archives: January 2015. CHESHIRE RING WALK – Northern Section, day 3. Manchester City Centre – Marple. The freezing mist persisted. I was disappointed not to see much of the Etihad Stadium or the Velodrome and attached BMX course where one of my Grandsons would be trying to break something on his bike or himself. More people started appearing, mainly dog walkers, as we contoured high above the wooded Tame valley. Our lunch stop sat on a stone wall coincided with the start of a snow storm! Our tra...

Monthly Archives: November 2014. A TOWER OF VICTORIAN STRENGTH. Baz [soon to be 70] phones –. What about a walk on Sunday? Yes, good idea and good forecast. Where shall we meet? Hmm Abbey Village, halfway point. Will sort out a route later. See you at 9.30am. We have had a lot of rain these last few days so I looked at the map for bridleways and ancient lanes, there are plenty in this area of Lancashire. Darwen Tower [the rocket! Was erected in 1898 to celebrate Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee and...

Monthly Archives: July 2015. KING LUDWIG WAY – no man’s land. Rottenbuch – Trauchgau. Most long-distance walks have a section just to get from A to B using the least painful way. On some previous routes I’ve cheated and hitched across dreary road sections. Today, with one exception didn’t promise much. Progress at first was slow and hesitant, little lanes going everywhere through traditional farming land. The signs and map didn’t agree, re-routing? This entry was posted in Art and architecture. Had such ...

Monthly Archives: February 2015. The other listed walks can wait for suitable times and companions.Maybe I’ll find mine……. 8230;……….watch this space for more list ticking. This entry was posted in Canary Islands. And tagged Canary Islands. February 25, 2015. USING MY BUS PASS. This last week I was thwarted on my planned two day walk because I couldn’t face paying a pub 60 B&B! Anyway the weather was not brilliant. Bedford truck and a farmer’s unsightly silage pile.

Monthly Archives: June 2015. Cycling in The Lot Valley. This is a perfect cycling area – quiet lanes, not really too many steep gradients, beautiful villages with refreshments and also a good network of VTT tracks. The tourist information offices have lots of free leaflets and maps – try the ones in Puy L’Eveque and Duravel. There is a particularly good set of routes produced by The Lot tourist board – http:/ www.tourisme-lot.com. Much better to hire a canoe from the same people and explore yourself....
