High Street
Monday, March 30th, 2009High Street from Mardale Head, is a challenging walk and in my opinion is one of the best walks I have ever done in the English Lake District. Starting from the free car park at Mardale Head at the top of Haweswater Reservoir, walking up Rough Crag & Eagle Crag which is famous as been the home of the only nesting Golden Eagle in England & Wales. Then the last climb up Long Stile to the summit, with on a clear day you can see fantastic views of the Helvellyn range
The Snowdon Mountain Railway
Monday, March 30th, 2009On a recent trip to Wales we set up camp near a place called Betws y coed about a 20mins drive away from Mount Snowdon. There is a car park in Llanberis where you start the walk from. If you decided that the walk was to hard for you then you can take the train to the summit.
Since the year 1896, visitors from around the world have travelled on the Snowdon Mountain Railway. Trains climb up the highest mountain in Wales which is1085m in height where once you reach the top Snowdon boasts dramatic landscape and scenery. This unique railway is proven to be one of the most popular visitor attractions in North Wales and offers great value. The Summit of Snowdon, at 3,560ft (1085m), is the highest mountain in England and Wales. The Snowdon Mountain Railway offers a fantastic day out for all of the family.
Hafod Eryri, the new building on the summit of Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) is opening this spring, however, the date is dependent on the weather. The formal opening will be on the 12th June 2009 although the building will be in use before then. Trains are expected to reach the Summit from 2nd May 2009 onwards. The new Snowdon visitor centre is a unique designed structure built of granite with large views from the “window on the world” the wall of glass which makes up the front of the centre.It acts as a terminus for the Snowdon Mountain Railway providing refreshment facilities, toilets and interpretation of the mountain, its history and ways to enjoy it

The Big One – Ben Nevis
Monday, September 24th, 200721st September 2007 we traveled for 7 hours to our base at Glen Nevis camping and caravanning site at the foot of Ben Nevis. At 4406ft or 1344m, Ben Nevis is the highest mountain in the UK.
Close to Fort William, and the accessibility of the path from Glen Nevis means that tens of thousands of walkers climb Ben Nevis each year. If you decide to join the crowds, remember that this is a serious undertaking and dress for the mountain and not for the valley.
The walk took approx four hours up and three hours down, the weather was again poor and we were all exhausted by the time we had finished and truly deserved our reward at the end. The picture below shows the view up from the camp site although the mountain can not be seen beacuse of poor visabilty.
The picture below shows our tents on the site with the start of the asent in the distance.
The two photos below are of our trip through Glencoe on our way to Fort William and Ben Nevis. The waters which spill from the top of these high mountains and give rise to a series of beautiful waterfalls that gather initially at the Meeting of the Three Waters to form the River Coe. Less than a mile lower down stream, at the very heart of Glencoe, the river widens briefly to form Loch Achtriochtan, a great place to view the entire glen.
When you visit the highlands you will be greeted by some outstanding mountain scenery with fantastic views of the Scottish glens & lochs. You will not be disappointed
