Lol McGoohan! Mr Lemon told me this morning there was a new thread about the Lake District (which we love) and I just told him there is now one for the Peak District (which is on our list to visit), and I am watching both threads and taking in all the tips. He replied "What about Norfolk?" I said that no one loves Norfolk enough to start a thread, but that's good, it's nice and quiet which is how I like it! Everyone is either in the Peaks or the Lakes and those who aren't are probably all in St Ives eating giant pasties and scones.

Anyway, I keep looking at the Edale and Hope area, I have a colleague who visits Hope every year and says its stunning.

I used to have Kinder as a playground for doing long runs.

I would like to do a walk that slightly challenges my fear of steep, windy slopes but doesn't have me paralysed with fear and clinging round fetch's ankles.

Perhaps we need a 'Normal for Norfolk' thread, L10? ;-)

There have been loads of threads about Norfolk, or at least about the perimeter of Norfolk ;)

Katie, try the Mam Tor to Lose Hill ridge above Castleton. You can make it as steep or gentle as you like to suit yourself.

Thanks, ff. I would need it to be gentle with an option to challenge. Mam Tor sounds familiar, I have a feeling it may have been involved in a D of E weekend when I was 15.

Should you fancy heading a little further north, come see us in the Firth. The pennine way and Langsett trail and all that is on our magnificent door step.
