Making the most of the spring sunshine with a very pleasant loop from Pateley Bridge. Starting with a pleasant amble alongside the River Nidd, the route gradually climbs through Smelthouses and High Wood to the weird and wonderful gritstone outcrop of Brimham Rocks. After a well-deserved ice cream, return

After our failed post-sunrise attempt, take 2 of the iconic Madeiran route. Unfortunately most of the PR1 is currently closed due to a landslide, but what is open is still mightily impressive!

A flat walk along the levada to the Caldeirao Verde waterfall. Very green and lush, but be prepared to get wet feet!

A very chilly visit to the Pico do Ariero. After being lucky enough to catch an amazing sunrise, the fog and rain then rolled in and no views were to be had for the rest of the PR1 route

A quick hop to see the PR11 viewpoint, then a much quieter trundle along the beautiful and verdant PR10 levada trail. A much smaller levada leads up to a plateau on the top of the hill, and then it's a short mossy trundle back down to Ribeiro Frio

Walked up the completely deserted Coppermines Valley to Wetherlam, then along the ridge to Swirl How. An incredibly blustery leg out to Great Carrs and Great Friar, then along to the Old man of Coniston and back to the Coppermines YMC hut by the tourist route and Low Water

Starting off through the lovely little village of Bewerley, we then passed through Skrikes Wood nature reserve on our way up to the boulders and big vistas of Guisecliff.
