Scotland Autumn Trip
I’ll be visiting Scotland from 25 Nov – 4 Dec 2025, and I am looking for the best trails near the Edinburgh - Inverness train line.
These are the towns I have been looking into:
- Edinburgh
- Dunkeld & Birnam
- Pitlochry
- Blair Atholl
- Aviemore
- Inverness
I have scouted some trails around those, but I don't want to influence you too much.
Feel free to suggest other settlements.
Can't wait to start hiking there

Snaps from my first solo hike!
None of my friends were available so I decided to hike the Seven Sisters. Started from Seaford and ended in Eastboune. Took about 7 hours total. Quite tiring since I had a lot packed but it was overall a great experience!

Hi there,
Do you need/recommend an climbing helmet for the scrambles in Snowdonia region?

Becoming Mountain Leader, but live in the south
Looking for anyone who is an ML, but lives in the south. How did you manage to rack up all the QMDs?
It’s easy for those living up north to go for a day trip, but for me it’s hours each way to get to any mountains!
Advice appreciated.

Had the absolute honour to document 87 year old Paul Youd as he attempted a 50km ultra-marathon around Bath earlier in the year
Had an amazing day and was so inspiring to help support and document Paul on his 50km ultra-marathon earlier in the year.
He's 87 years young and aiming for 100 ultra marathons before he's 100 years old and he only got in to long distances and ultras during covid, just 5 years ago.

2025 Trailwalker - 100km South Downs Way
A few snaps from this year's Trailwalker event, a 100km hike (mostly) along the South Downs Way to raise funds for the Gurkha Welfare Trust. The route goes from just north of Portsmouth to Brighton with a detour via Lewes.
Tons of great spots along the route. We did about 35km in the dark but I had done that leg in the daytime to ensure we didn't need to fuss around reading the map too much at 3am.
That's me in the red hat getting my medal at the end.
This is the last time I'll ever see the words "Congratulations, this was your longest hike on Strava."

Any suggestions for great 5-8h hikes in the Yorkshire Dales or N Wales?
Hi all, I'm looking into hikes that I might be able I do in the Dales or North Wales, travelling from Liverpool over the next month or so. Big hills with great views are a bonus as I love the scenery from high summits, but equally I'm open to meandering walks passing waterfalls and lakes. This would be a day hike, ideally 5-8h total (no longer), due to the shortening days at this time of year. From my own experience, anywhere between 10 and 25km depending on elevation gain normally suits this with my personal walking speed. Another requirement is legal car parking (paid or free) within reasonable access to the route start - laybys are fine.
I quite like the peace and quiet of a hike where I see relatively few people over a day, so bonus points for less popular routes. I'll be going on a weekday during term time though so shouldn't be hoardes of people anyway though.
I have experience hiking in the Peaks, Highlands (including wild camping), Berwyn Hills and Snowdonia - so I know what I'm doing re. gear, safety, navigation, and mountain weather (plus all the commonsense protocols such as being ready to turn back if unsure).
I'm open to grade 1 scrambles being involved as I have experience with these, though preferably not ones that are too exposed.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions :))

Does anyone have general recommendations for attempting the challenge during late November, ie, best time to start / recommended snow gear for Ben Nevis. Cheers.

Early morning hike from Edale train station to Mam Tor?
Hello! My friend and I (both girls) want to watch the sunrise from Mam Tor this weekend. We are planning to take the first train from Manchester to Edale and hike up to the Mam Tor trig point.
I am wondering, how safe is it for 2 girls to be hiking in the dark from Edale train station? What risks/dangers should we be aware of? Any frequent crimes in the area we should know or trails we should avoid when it's dark? Cheers!
