stunned, dazed and still can't quite believe it!!
Well we’ve got a running and cycling thread, was going to start a swimming one but not too many do it so decided to start this one.

In the past 12 months really got into getting out hiking with my girlfriend, I’ve done stuff in the past like the 3 peaks and Yorkshire 3 peaks but it was totally new to her. Last year we climbed Helvellyn then a few months later we climbed Ben Nevis. We climbed Scafell pike last weekend and finally did Snowdon today. We’ve also done Mam Tor and Kinder scout over the last month and I’m now wondering were to go next.
We’ve got a trip up in the Cheviots next month already planned and are looking at doing the Old man of Conniston soon too but want to know any other recommendations from other walkers.
We live in North Manchester so don’t want to have to travel to far, ideally get there, up down and home same day, can’t always stay over a night.

So come on fellow mooners.... where next?
 
Me and the missus are off to Ullswater on the 19th and spending 3 days hiking and camping a few routes. It is a fantastic stress reliever and natural anti depressants. Hopefully I dont want to boot her off the side of a mountain after day 2 though.

Some great routes local to Manchester as well. Up Saddleworth way there is an absolute ton of trails and climbs that are beyond belief. Lovely part of the world is Uppermill and Delph. Edale and Hayfield are my personal favourites going out the other way.

Might try a couple of those, was in edale couple of weeks ago and I regularly cycle around Uppermill and Delph. Would love to spend a few days walking and camping but her ex isn’t the fairest when looking after their little one so one night away max currently is the best we can do.

Suppose anything is better than nothing cocker just enjoy what you can. Hopefully the situation eases a bit in the future to allow you to do a bit extra. Plus theres nothing better than smashing the wifes backdoors in, in the middle of the wilderness. Keeps our relationship ticking and we have amazing conversations about everything and anything.

Pics of said backdoor please
 
Have a look at Buckden Pike in Upper Wharfedale.
Are you going by car needing a circular route Or are we talking point to point?

The Peak District is a big place. Maybe try Kinder Scout (nearest town is Hayfield) or Win Hill, some great walks around Ladybower reservoir and Derwent with stunning views overlooking the reservoirs.
 
Wifey was off work last week and az I'm furloughed and our Greece holiday had been cancelled we did some walking in the Derbyshire Dales, North Wales Coast and the Sandstone trail in Cheshire
The views on the sandstone were fabulous and where we started from was only 25 minutes up the road

The Sanstone is around 35 miles in total and in one go takes about 12 hours
 
Had a walk along Padley Gorge near Hathersage last week, if your going by car park at the the Surprise View car park on the A 6187, or get the train to Grindleford Station it's almost at the start of the gorge.
