Boots and Beer Walking Festival

Boots and Beer Walking Festival 2010

Another great Walking Festival last weekend. Over 430 walkers came up to Wensleydale to enjoy a weekend of great walks, classic pubs and evening entertainment.

After a very wet Friday, the weather improved with sunshine and squally showers. There were 14 self-guided walks to choose from, varing from 4 to 15 miles in length, and everyone who set off came back safely having had a great time. But there again, you can not help but be impressed by the stunning landscapes of the Yorkshire Dales. We also raised over £800 for Swaledale Mountain Rescue Team, who were on standby over the weekend (but thankfully were not called upon!).

I researched and wrote all of the walks - over 120 miles of paths - which took me the best part of the summer.

On Friday I took an Open Access navigation skills walk up to the summit of Dodd Fell (668m), which was challenging due to the weather and terrain, but hugely enjoyable.

Here's a photo of us on the summit

I hope to see you at next year's event, which will be our 10th Walking Festival http://www.bootsandbeer.com/

Inn at Hawnby, North York Moors

Spent yesterday morning with a group of business professionals in the North York Moors. Had breakfast at the Inn at Hawnby, then went for a 6 mile walk across the heather moors and finished back at the pub for lunch. There was time to talk, think and network with like-minded people. Just started a NetWalking group on LinkedIn as well, which will help everyone keep in touch.
