UKC

Hey all,

Having completed the 10 peak (when including High Street and Goat Scar) Kentmere HS this last weekend I have probably one more weekend I can squeeze in before the end of the year with the boys for one more walk. As such I want to make it a good'un.

High Stile ridge is one, Fairfield HS is another. Nantlle Ridge would be a good one in Wales. Im looking to make good use of the time and want to know off a good few from the lists.

Thanks
Richard

In reply to TheDrunkenBakers: Here's a few possibles:

Eskdale Round http://www.ukhillwalking.com/logbook/r/?i=651
Lakeland 3000ers (plus a few) http://www.ukhillwalking.com/logbook/r/?i=483 - that's a 2-dayer for most mortals
North Pennines watershed http://www.ukhillwalking.com/logbook/r/?i=256

Nantlle Ridge http://www.ukhillwalking.com/logbook/r/?i=386 - not really that big a day out, but great
Welsh 3000s http://www.ukhillwalking.com/logbook/r/?i=125 - you could do just two ranges out of the three if the full thing seemed too much
Rhinogau north-to-south http://www.ukhillwalking.com/logbook/r/?i=79

Tons more to do in Scotland of course, so let me know if you want any recommendations here

In reply to TheDrunkenBakers: A full traverse of the Glyderau is good. Up from Bethesda to Carnedd y Filist then over Mynydd Perfedd (optional out and back to Elidir Fawr) - Foel Goch - Y Garn - Glyder Fawr - Glyder Fach (optional out and back to Tryfan) - Y Foel Goch - Gallt yr Ogof - Cefn y Capel. Down to Capel Curig for a pint.

A full traverse of the Snowdon range. From Beddgelert to Craig Wen - Yr Aran - Snowdon - Garnedd Ugain - Moel Cynghorion - Foel Goch - Foel Gron - Moel Eilio.

Or something in the Moelwyns. Ffestiniog up to Moelwyn Bach - Molewyn Mawr - Moel yr Hydd - Allt Fawr - Moel Druman - Ysgafell Wen - Moel Meirch - Carnedd y Cribau - Moel Siabod, and down to Capel Curig. That passes some very varied terrain.

All these are linear, but feasible with two cars/a bus/hitching a lift.

It's a big day out if you do it properly and go to the end (Mynydd Graig Goch), and then back via Cwm Pennant and Beddgelert Forest.

In reply to Dan Bailey - UKHillwalking.com:

Scotland is too far (ill be back for this next year as i fancy breaking my Munro duck).

In reply to TheDrunkenBakers:
In addition to what's already been suggested:
Carneddau Traverse (Ogwen to Capel)
Pillar Horseshoe
Coledale Round
Newlands Round
Langdale skyline

Actually, now I come to think of it, it's hard to get out of the car in the Lake District without ending up on a classic ridge walk...

In reply to Ramblin dave:
In fact, you can add various linkups of the Coniston Fells, Helvellyn and the Dodds, the Grisedale Round...

In reply to Ramblin dave:

Ive done Pillar and the Langdale Pikes so I would want avoid those. Id forgotten about Newlands Round so defo good option. Carneddau is a good shout. Never heard of Coledale Round so will look than one up. Just looked it up, right next door to Newlands.

In reply to Mike Peacock: 'Properly'? hmm, not aware of any rules in the hills! A bigger day out though, true. Though still not 'that' big.

In reply to TheDrunkenBakers: Coledale Round http://www.ukhillwalking.com/logbook/r/?i=156

Eskdale circuit http://www.ukhillwalking.com/logbook/r/?i=116

In reply to Dan Bailey - UKHillwalking.com:

Shouldnt that read Ennerdale Circut? Just looked that up, wow, I can feel the thighs burning before I even start. Looks just like what I'm after and give me the chance to tick Black Crag which I missed when I did Pillar last time.

In reply to TheDrunkenBakers:
Although speaking of Eskdale circuits, the Woolpack Round is another good one...

In reply to TheDrunkenBakers:
Don't miss the McGillicuddies (spelling error I'm sure) HS just because its in Eire, Do that and Brandon for a weekend away you won't regret spending the ferry fare on.

In reply to Dan Bailey - UKHillwalking.com:

Haha, you know what I mean. It's the natural ridge in its entirety rather than this stopping at Craig Cwm Silyn nonsense

In reply to Ramblin dave: A full traverse of the Carneddau goes from Drum in a semicircle to Llewelyn, Craig yr Ysfa etc.

In reply to altirando: Meant to add it is possible to make this into a circuit, parking at Rowen, so two cars are not necessary.

In reply to Ramblin dave: Even better is you line the Coledale Round and the Newlands Round together ........

In reply to TheDrunkenBakers: My part of the shire - did you sample a pint at the Hawkshead Brewery?

In reply to Baron Weasel: nope, the sun inn was the surrogate local.
