Hiking in the Forest of Bowland
Here are a few photos taken as I up the Langden Brook trail with my husband Martin. We climbed up into Lancashire's Fiendsdale today. The area lies in the Forest of Bowland which is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB).
The beautiful little building with conical windows is 'Langden Castle'. It stands at the confluence of two streams: One from bleak and lonely Bleadale and the other from wild Fiendsdale. The white flower is sub arctic cotton grass which grows wild up here.
I have included some sound clips of our walk here too.

On the steep, steep side of Ben Lomond | Scotland | April 2023 This was one of the first especially intimidating munros I saw while walking north into the Scottish Highlands. Unfortunately, our route would not have us climb this fabled mountain. This view however, amazed me nonetheless. Upon nearing the base where the mountain paths lay, I observed two very much windswept hillwalkers shuffle down the trail. “Did you climb Lomond today?” I asked. “Oh yes”, they reply in a Scottish accent. “Incredibly windy up there. I felt like I was going to be blown off the hill at any moment!” Scottish Hillwalking aint for babies. While I had a monumental ascent up the north face of Ben Nevis, Scotland left me wanting more. Another trip, perhaps. I’ll be doing a print and post card sale soon, y’all! What images should I add back to my shop? Everything will be printed in advance this time, so if you have any suggestions as to what should go to print, add a comment!

I recently visited Galloway Forest Park in Dumfries and Galloway in the south of Scotland. The Forest Park covers 774 square kilometres (we didn't see it all 😂) and is the biggest forest in the UK. It has many beautiful walks, hiking routes, hill walking, cycling, mountain biking, rock climbing and ice climbing. We stuck to some of the more gentle walking routes and explored the beautiful scenery and nature parks within the forest, including wild goats and red deer!
Up the Malverns! I reached the beacon of the Malvern Hills, Worcestershire, where the wind was so aggressive that a few of the old biddies, who were all dressed like Scott of the Antarctic, were whisked away into the sky like Dorothy.
