Weekend Routes

This how-to shows you how to build a satisfying loop walk that starts and ends at a railway station, cutting out the need for a car or a lift home. You'll learn how to check timetables, distances and daylight before setting off.

This checklist covers exactly what belongs in your pack once the paths turn to sludge and the light starts disappearing by mid afternoon. You'll leave with a list that saves you from cold feet, dead torches and missed turnings.
