Divide and conquer

Walk through three counties visiting Cheshire’s Matterhorn, Derbyshire’s ancient bridge and Staffordshire’s secret church all in one Peak District hike.

Outstanding views, relatively easy navigation, pub/café at the start/end – is this a perfect ‘short day’ route in the Peak District ?

Explore the Peak District ’s rugged beauty with the Dark Peak’s wilder side.

An easy scramble early on this route leads you to Kinder Gates and on to some spectacular Peak District scenery.

Want to cycle 1,000 miles across rugged Scottish terrain, climbing more than twice the height of Everest? Oh, and it’s totally unsupported. Then try the Trans Alba race: you don’t have to be mad to do it, but it probably helps!

There’s nothing like a good walk to blow the cobwebs away. Lisa Kjellsson experiences the power of pilgrimage in majestic Yorkshire surroundings
