@GreymanThat's Edale in the valley there where the railway worker had his sighing in episode 40. The line runs through the valley bottom then goes into a tunnel on the left under the hill.

 you can see the geographic preferences, from Scotland to Cornwall the landscape they pop up in is always similar, another sign of naturalising rather than random releases, thanks for the heads up

Wow that looks a cracking spot mate. It's something I've always fancied doing just getting all the gear in a big rucksack and going off grid for a few days.

Cheers mate! Yes, it's right good little spot that is. It's on Rushup edge. I left the car in Mam tor car park. I scanned my National trust ticket on the parking machine.. paid me up until midnight. It's says no overnight parking but i can't see who's going to be monitoring that at those hours! It's exactly a mile walk along the edge. I earmarked the pitch a few weeks back when I had a walk up there with my Mrs and daughter for the first time. Massive views for not very much effort!

It's good bit of escapism if you like, especially for my work mate who I usually go with. He's single, lives in a little flat with no garden and has recently started up a little business on the side and he's getting mega stressed with it all. These little trips out do his head a world of good. Me.. I just like to get away from the Mrs and the shit she watches on the tele for a night! Lol..

This is him. Away from the daily grind!

I haven't but my old man has done them all, Nevis, Snowdon, etc. I have a couple of  weekends off starting from this Saturday and I think I'm going to do Showdown with him, he's asked me to go on walks with him for a few years now but never been bothered. He's 66 in April and we haven't got much time to make more memories.

No, been up Fortwilliam a good few times but never had the opportunity to get up Ben Nevis. It is on my to do list mind. Just got the route up here, I think this is the most popular way up and down, the tourist route as they call it. 11 mile round trip altogether and that starts at the Breaveheart car park. Me and my Mrs camped on the Glen Nevis site there years ago, think we were only 20 or 21. If I go back up there I'll more than likely camp there again as the site in near to the beginning of the trail up. Is it a trip for this year mate or you are leaving it for now as the weather is on the turn?

Spot on advice . 

I've done it a few times . You need a decent level of fitness , but it's a nice walk.

Get it done pal! Any ideas what route you'll use for Snowden. I guess your dad will know anyway but I found this helpful for a bit of guidance..

Probably leave it wile next year I would think mate. I would have thought late spring would be the best time to do it.
