Continue reading →: Quagmire – Leeds Country Way part 2.Mud glorious mud. Ohh so much mud! We started back on the Leeds Country Way this morning. The weather was forecast for a fine morning and rain this afternoon, so being fair weather walkers it was a morning walk only. After parking the cars up and starting the walk it…

Continue reading →: Leeds Country Way and SunshineI saw the sun for the first time in 2026 today and it was glorious. We didn’t have a lot of time available so needed a fairly short local walk. We decided to start walking the Leeds Country Way. It’s a 62 mile circular walk around Leeds. I’ve started it…

Continue reading →: Meanwood Valley TrailToday’s walk was local to us. It was the 7 mile walk that starts in Woodhouse Moor and ends at Golden Acre Park. It’s like a green corridor that runs through the North West of Leeds. You walk through a built up area of student houses and before you know…

Continue reading →: First trig of 26 and the last section of the Welcome WayAlso the first squeeze that I’ve not been able to squeeze through – I’m not sure that is an achievement I want though. This section of the Welcome Way was nice and varied. The first third was lovely and flat. We descended down off the hill and were warned in…

Continue reading →: Uterus Walk (aka The Coldstones Cut)So I have about 25 walks to write up, but I just haven’t been bothered to blog lately. However, today’s walk was something special. I checked out the weather forecast and the MET office said, “hell yeah, go for your walk. It’ll be dry with moderate visibility.” Great times ahead…

Which is the new name Louise would like our walking group to be named after I gave the grim details of our adventure over WhatsApp So first thing to note. Don’t do this walk when it’s wet or if…

Continue reading →: Yr Wydffa (Snowdon)Annual leave, a sunny weather forecast and nothing planned. It was inevitable that a mountain was chosen as an adventure. Luckily on Thursday morning I was able to book into the Llanberis campsite and Zara and I set off to Wales that afternoon. So I now have another road to…

Continue reading →: Ladybower ReservoirThis was our second walk of the day. When we’ve had to drive for a little while we try to make the day of it. We spent the morning doing the Overexposed walk and then onto Ladybower in the afternoon. https://breathlesshikers.com/2025/08/09/overexposed-crash-site-walk/ What was nice about Ladybower was Zara and I…

Continue reading →: Overexposed Crash Site WalkI’m starting to think I’m into dark tourism. We visited another aeroplane crash site today on a walk. This one is in the Peak district and doesn’t involve walking up a mountain. Back in 1948 a big American plane called Overexposed crashed into the peak district, not that far off…

Continue reading →: Teggs Nose Country ParkI haven’t been on a walk for a little while. I’ve been so busy going on different adventures instead and not having the time. I did however, meet up with my friend Hayley yesterday and go for a stroll. We met up at the half way mark between our houses,…
