This walk started at Santon Downham car park. Georgina had put an advert on the gumtree website for setting up a new walking club in East Anglia. Today was the group's first meeting and 10 walkers turned up! The group was very diverse ranging from people from Norwich, Cambridge, Bury St Edmunds, Sweden, Ukraine, Israel and Slovakia. |

I woke this morning to a fresh fall of snow, the Brecon Beacons were looking beautiful and it was the perfect day for walking in South Wales. I started off by driving to the National Trust car park near to Cwmgwdi. The road was very steep and icy here and everybody's cars were struggling to get up to the top of the car park. Fortunately there were some very willing army guys here who helped push the cars up the hill! |

I started my walk at the National Trust Roman Villa car park in Chedworth Woods. It was trying to rain for most of the 2 and a half hour walk, but it managed to hold off until I got back to my car. From the car park my walk followed the river in an easterly direction. then I made my way up to the charming Cotswold village of Yanworth. |

Our walk across The Fens started at the Plough and Fleece pub in the small Cambrideshire village of Horningsea. This walk was organised by the Cambridge Walking Club and the leader was named Matt.

Our trek in the remote Nepalese region of Langtang began with a local bus journey to Sybrubesi, 1465m. The journey took 7 hours not including a 2 hour wait for the locals to finish widening the road for the bus to get past. The bus journey followed the Trisuli Khola river and also provided us with stunning views of the Ganesh Himnal and Lantang mountain ranges. |
