Editor's blog: A cove to cove walk

Vince Crump, 21 April 2012 00:00

I’ve got a print on my bedroom wall: Asparagus Island by William Holman Hunt. It’s unfashionable to like the Pre-Raphaelites – all those lantern-jawed Rossetti lovelies and clunking knights in armour. But Holman Hunt’s beachscapes are startling: the disco-light intensity of the colours, the riveting freshness in every splash of sea and sky. And when he stumbled on Kynance Cove, ...

Anonymous, 20 April 2012 15:00

Created to celebrate the 25th birthday of Britain's best-selling walking magazine, the Country Walking White to Dark Trail takes you through the greatest landscapes of the Peak District in an unforgettable “long weekend”. It's a three-day trail (so it's perfect for a Bank Holiday) and in the course of 27 marvellous miles you'll go from Bakewell to Hope (from White ...

The Trail Tall Tale - December

LFTO Features Team, 26 October 2011 16:00

In this month's issue of Trail we've given you two bizarre hill stories: A Shed from Keswick and Jelly from Space. One of these unlikely events is the product of the Trail's over-active imagination, while the other is the gospel truth. But can you guess which is which? If you haven't seen the issue yet, then you can read both ...

The Trail Tall Tale - November

LFTO Features Team, 30 September 2011 09:00

In the November issue of Trail are another two more stories of questionable authenticity: None moor strange and Wheelie wierd. As usual, one strange story has been dreamt up in the minds of the Trail team's most off the wall members, while one is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, even though it might not seem like it. If ...

The Trail Tall Tale - October - Results!

LFTO Features Team, 30 August 2011 09:00

In the October issue of Trail are two more strange and unusual bizarre stories: Climbing Exposure of a Different Kind and Now That's What We Call Striking Camp. Once again the strange warped minds of Trail have created one as a work of pure fiction, while the other is a genuine 'honest as the day is long, guv' tale that actually ...

Would you know what to do?

Claire Maxted, 04 February 2010 09:31

“Aaaaargh!” You hear the shout from above. Then the world goes silent. Your heart hammers at your rib cage and your mouth goes dry. Someone is lying at the bottom of a crag, injured, broken, bleeding, you don’t know yet. You’re already leaping over boulders and crashing through the bracken to investigate, but hang on a second. Do you know ...

LFTO Features Team, 21 December 2009 12:06

No matter how well we wrap up this winter we're sure to suffer from the old sooner or later (if not already).

New poll: Which bit of winter kit would you want for Christmas?

LFTO Features Team, 10 December 2009 09:44

Just because there's a chill in the air and ice on the ground doesn't mean you have to hang up your walking boots for the next few months. Quite the opposite - winter walking brings new colours, cool crisp days with long shadows from the sun and perhaps the chance to test your gear through the snow. So which bit of winter ...

LFTO Features Team, 07 December 2009 11:36

Are they so good now that you don't feel the need for a map and compass? Do you use one in conjunction with other navigational tools? Or do the map and compass still reign supreme?
