Dales Way

The Dales Way: Day 6 – Stavely to Windermere

Jun 28, 2014Jun 22, 2019 / David Marsden / 4 Comments

(16th February - 6 miles) It was my last day on the Dales Way and guess what?  It was warm, it was clear, it was bright.  Sometimes walking in February can be bloody lovely.  Sometimes. After clearing breakfast, I packed up, paid up, sat outside 'The Eagle and Child,' pulled on my boots and smugly … Continue reading The Dales Way: Day 6 – Stavely to Windermere

The Dales Way: Day 5 – Sedbergh to Staveley

May 28, 2014Jun 11, 2019 / David Marsden / 4 Comments

(15th February - 19 miles) For the first time on my walk and on the penultimate day, the sky was blue and the sun shone.  Today was the longest day of my walk and I was grateful for warm sunshine.  And for the first day of my walk, no need for Yaktrax. After grabbing a … Continue reading The Dales Way: Day 5 – Sedbergh to Staveley

The Dales Way: Day 4 – Ribblehead to Sedbergh

Apr 21, 2014Jun 11, 2019 / David Marsden / 6 Comments

(14th February 2012 - 14 miles) There had been no let up with the weather.  And as I ate breakfast, thick, grey cloud still lay heavy on the fells.  Afterwards, I studied the ordnance survey map in the dining room and decided to cut across country from 'The Station Inn' to pick up the Dales … Continue reading The Dales Way: Day 4 – Ribblehead to Sedbergh

The Dales Way: Day 3 – Cray to Ribblehead

Apr 6, 2014Jun 10, 2019 / David Marsden / 7 Comments

(13th February 2012 - 14 miles) The next morning, after chatting to some fellow guests over breakfast, I was in good spirits as I bounced down the hill to the tiny village of Hubberholme, where I re-joined the Dales Way. As you might have guessed, the word Hubberholme derives from old Norse.  It is named … Continue reading The Dales Way: Day 3 – Cray to Ribblehead

The Dales Way: Day 2 – Burnsall to Cray

Apr 1, 2014Jun 9, 2019 / David Marsden / 6 Comments

(12th February 2012 - 15 miles) The weather was no different: snow hadn't melted, cloud and mist hadn't lifted, the sun wasn't shining and it was still very cold. But Wharfedale was still very beautiful, in a bleak kind of way.  After another fat-soaked breakfast (and a fruit salad that I wanted to pour into … Continue reading The Dales Way: Day 2 – Burnsall to Cray

Three Simple Ways To Encourage Insects Into Your Garden

Three Simple Ways To Encourage Insects Into Your Garden

I’ve always thought that if I can entice insects and wildlife into my garden, then well… I’m doing something right; even if I don’t always notice them, I’m doing something right. Of course, we all know that insect numbers are falling but, as depressing as that is, here are three simple steps we can take […]

We Made A Garden, Part 2

We Made A Garden, Part 2

Here’s more on the house and garden we bought in 2005 (and – spoiler alert – left in 2010). The front garden of the cottage was, as you can see, overgrown when we arrived and clearing the undergrowth was a major task. But hey, I didn’t care. I had my first greenhouse. As well as […]
