Brancaster Staithe ‘is a great all-year-round walking trail’

Filed under Walking News by Walking Stuff on 29-07-2010

People who enjoy walking in the Peak District and other rambling hotspots across the UK might like to check out what Norfolk’s Brancaster Staithe harbour has to offer, an expert has said.

According to coastal warden Keith Miller, who was speaking to the Daily Telegraph, this trail is an essential route for all walking enthusiasts to take at some point as it is an ideal location for a stroll at any time of the year.

Mr Miller stated that “the delicate little terns fishing just off the quay” could be one of the many great sights to view during the walk – which is around six kilometres long – over the coming months.

However, the warden went on to say that his favourite time to walk the route is “the middle of winter”, when views are unrestricted by leaves on the trees.

Meanwhile, ranger Lorna Sherrif told the publication recently that Devon’s Wembury Point is an excellent spot for a hike all-year-round.

Boy helps save grandfather after Lake District fall

Filed under Walking News by Walking Stuff on 28-07-2010

A ten-year-old boy who was walking in the Lake District with his grandfather has helped save his injured family member by guiding rescue teams to him following a fall.

Grough reports that the child and his grandfather were taking the walking route towards Ennerdale from nearby Wasdale but the elder member of the party encountered trouble along the way and fell near the top of Haycock.

The pair – who hail from London – were staying at a local hostel for their trip and the Cockermouth Mountain Rescue Team was notified by staff there when they failed to return later that day.

The grandfather had slipped due to damp conditions on the rambling trails and was unable to walk but his younger relation trekked some three miles in order to try to get help for the injured man.

He then gave the rescuers directions, by which the male was discovered and taken to hospital.

Meanwhile, it was revealed recently that the police are to get involved in order to clampdown on the number of wild campers using certain restricted areas of the Lake District national park at weekends.
