For those that haven't seen the program...

These BBC Walks look ideal for an interesting stroll with the whole family
whilst on holiday etc.

Most are on Tarmac so OK for wheelchairs/buggies and the longest I could see
was 3 miles.

Perhaps they'll do some more serious walks idc. :-)

See "Country Walking" magazine, August edition, for some better coastal
walks, or go to:

www.countrywalking..co.uk

You have to register, I think, then type in the location where you want
to walk. Look through the index, and download the details.

I have actually been quite impresed by the Coast series so far -
althpugh giving an hour to four hundred miles of coastline means much
gets left out, it has all been interseting stuff, and has givenme
nostalgic I-want-to-go-there-again feelings.

only seen one but very interesting, not really much to do with
walking, but then there isn't much to say about actual walking,
is there? Maybe something about poles or GPS. Of course there's
taking photos while you walk, now there's a subject.

Yes, where have all the photography chappies gone? Infact where has
everyone gone? Me, I'm off to Scotland for a couple of weeks (sans
poles, GPS or camera sadly. God knows what I'm going to say to anyone I
meet).

I'm still here but I was never an argumentative one.

Too busy processing to post long threads on the relative merits of
this or that.

Serious walks are "dangerous".. and not doable by everyone, so are not
BBC material. (See isobars on weather forecasts etc)

Yes, usually the places I'm waiting to find out about :-(
The section on what they consistently called "The Gower" (local
pedants will tell you it shouldn't have a definite article, but he
doesn't seem to be around any more) was interesting, but I'm not sure
why they felt the need to pretend that Paviland cave was only
accessible at low tide.

Dunno about them, I'm new here - relapsed after a long period (40yrs) of
abstinence from hill walking.
Just somebody who walks and carries a camera. Here's one from a couple of
weeks ago, taken towards the end of a smashing day on Tryfan and the
Glyders. Tryfan N. Ridge, Bristly Ridge, Glyder Fach, Glyder Fawr and Y
Garn. Looking back at Tryfan and Bristly Ridge with Glyder Fach and Castle
of the Winds. Middledistance in front of Tryfan is the Gribin Ridge with
Llyn Idwal below.

Well if walking is dangerous scrambling must be foolhardy and dangling
akin to commiting suicide, as it nearly was in one case eh?

You just reminded me of a photo I saw of Joe Brown on 'The Dangler', in
Derbyshire I think, hanging casually by one hand with a [censored] in his
mouth.
He was always a good poser. :-)
