RAIL TRAIL TALES

Tale 1 - Appleby to Langwathby - 17 miles

The best laid plans…  We had intended to walk the eight Trail stages in order starting in Settle, but engineering works on the line meant that instead we had to do the stage from Appleby to Langwathby first.  Click here to continue...

Tale 2 – Langwathby to Armathwaite - 13.5 miles

What is it about Armathwaite Station which makes people so forgetful?  For the second week running a walker (not the same one as last week) left their walking poles at that station in their rush to get on the train.  Fortunately, the poles were recovered when returning to that station at the end of the walk. Click here to continue...

Tale 3 – Settle to Carlisle

Whose bright idea was it to do two of the toughest stages of our Settle to Carlisle Rail Trail in one day? That walker didn’t think it “worth getting out of bed for eight miles” and preferred 15+ miles of at times challenging terrain. We hope his wife, another walker, will start talking to him again soon.

A few weeks' rest for everyone now to allow for holidays, work commitments etc., before we return to our Rail Trail in July. In the meantime why not sponsor us using the link below:
