GREAT COUM, Route 20, July 2009 This was a perfect rainbow across the valley (I couldn't get to the gold!) on the way up Great Coum, Cumbria. It was a very hard walk uphill across bogs and moorland but the views from the top stretched to the sea at Morecambe Bay and the Lake District. it was an even harder walk downhill but it was still superb all round. Lorrie Forman, Melton Mowbray

ARISAIG & CAMUSDARACH, Route 26, July 2017 We had an amazing week up in The Highlands. On this route there was plenty of beach walking and clambering over

rocks to make up for the road stretches. We could have sat for hours watching kites flying, kids swimming and dogs running. Samantha & Darren Hambling, Essex

ALDERLEY EDGE, Route 15, October 2016 We were looking for somewhere to walk to break up our journey home from Knutsford. I settled on this walk because I visit the town regularly as the company I work for owns a hotel there, and it never struck me as a walking location. We visited some old mine workings, the Armada Beacon and most importantly ‘The Edge’, which was totally unknown to me until this walk. Colin & Dawn Wallace, Darwen

DUFTON PIKE & HIGH CUP NICK, Route 18, July 2015 Our walking group finally arranged a weekend away in Appleby to tackle High Cup Nick. The picture shows them staring in awe at the enormity of this glacially-created natural

wonder. The weather was a mix of torrential rain and sunshine but it was a small price to pay to see and walk round this amazing spectacle. Richard Bott, Email

HIGH FORCE & CAULDRON SNOUT, Route 21, August 2016 So glad we did this walk. High Force was

so impressive! We were just starting to flag at about 12.5 miles, having not seen a soul or hardly even a dwelling for the past 2 hours, when the sight of Cauldron Snout as we rounded the bend both revived me and took my breath away at the same time. The climb up the side of the waterfall was a bit hairy and the exit past the dam and reservoir back to car was a trudge, but steak pie & chips at The High Force Hotel revived us for the drive back. Simon Taylor, Lytham St Annes

SOUTH ZEAL & COSDON BEACON, Route 27, June 2017 I fancied seeing the triple stone row, I was so keen I did the route in reverse and regretted the steeper climb up to the beacon. It made the pint in The Oxenham Arms much sweeter though. Dave Thoburn, Exmouth
