Bluesky Mining - Mountain & Walking Days
Welcome to my world of days in the great outdoors.
This diary of outdoor stories is recorded for my own record - recollections that I cannot guarantee are complete or even if things have been remembered (in)correctly. There is a mixture of walks, Ski tours and Mountaineering.
This page shows a summary of the latest entries - for indexes and curated collections, statistics and graphical representations, and a general overview, please use the button bar below.

Offa's Dyke Path, Hay Bluff & Black Hill
I had wanted to walk the ridge from Hay bluff to black hill for a while, so came up with a circuit starting at gospel pass and following Offa's dyke path up to the ridge. Along the ridge to Black Hill (Crib y Garth) then down the on-going ridge to the car park below. Turning here to follow a track around the base of the ridge and around to Craswall, before climbing up the slope to the plateau below the end of the ridge.

Monkland Return via Eardisland, Pembridge & Lyonshall
Sue had a workshop in Monkland with her quilting circle, so I grabbed a lift with the aim to walk back home, first along the river Arrow through Lawton Cross, Eardisland and Pembridge. Then weaving a path parallel to the A44 down to Lyonshall, before returning home mainly on the back roads due to the lack of footpaths.
