    Hiking with Howl - Episode Five

    This month JD and Max head out for a wonderful short afternoon walk in Max’s childhood stomping grounds. We visit the Dove Stone Reservoir as we pass towards an old quarry wall, looking for a small gully in which to ascend to the top. There is a gently sloping trail from the waters to the tops too, so if you’d like to attempt the walk but avoid the scramble there’s an option for you. We also visit the memorial cross on Ashway Moss before descending to finish the walk. It’s worth mentioning that the podcast is no substitute for a map, and the ability to read it. You’ll be walking at times in some pretty remote areas: Make sure you’re confident in your abilities Tell someone where you’re going and when you’re due back Take a rucksack with a sensible set of kit We’re also publishing each route through the Ordnance Survey online map service so members can access the detailed route card.

    Hiking with Howl - Episode Four

    This month JD is joined by Robin Heath as they undertake a 6km loop on Big Moor just outside Sheffield. Robin has been leading tours on Big Moor all summer as he takes guests to find the 4000 year old stone circles of the area, and teaches them about their history. In the episode you can follow the same route, and hear about the history of the landscape while you walk, or you can listen at home as we discuss a range of Bronze age conversation.

    Hiking with Howl - Dispatch: Rain at Night

    In this dispatch JD leaves the mic running while falling asleep in the woods, during a heavy rain storm. Having rained for 24 hours solid before recording, the night continued in fine form. Sit back and listen to the woodland drinking in the first storm of Autumn…

    Hiking with Howl - Dispatch: Quiet Paddling

    In this dispatch JD takes to the water in an open canoe just after sunrise, to enjoy the still morning waters of Loch Affric. The glass black water broken into crystal by the paddle, each stroke moving a world under the canoe, is something to be experienced by everyone. Hopefully the recording captures even a small part of the sensation.

    Hiking with Howl - Episode Three

    This month we visit the lesser trodden side of the Peaks, Bleaklow! This foreboding and impressive landscape is accessed from the Woodhead Pass, and immediately you’re into the wilds. We ascent a steep valley which involves some moderate scrambling in dry conditions, though the valley would be unclimbable in the wet with enough of a stream running. From the top we shoot for Hern Stones before returning via the Pennine Way, as we approach though you’ll find the podcast cuts to the finish as the classic weather of Bleaklow proves too much for our microphones and we make a quick get away in the growing dark.

    Hiking with Howl - Episode Two

    This month we visit the ever popular Malham Cove by way of an 18km round trip which sees us scramble up a Gorge and waterfall, hunt for ancient settlements, and wander past Limestone causeways. We visit one of the highest points in the area, which for such a popular area is often a quiet corner of the moors at Parsons Pulpit. The Cove has rose to fame again in recent years having been featured in a scene from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

    Hiking with Howl - Dispatch: Foraging and Thunderstorms

    In this dispatch we went out of an evening to catch an a prey that had eluded Max so far…Chicken of the Woods! Although this chicken lives in a tree, and doesn’t need plucking before you eat it. As we covered the heath to an area of woodland that I had noted for being full of the fungus we were after we saw a loomed thunderhead coming our way…but what better backdrop to a supper under the leaves.

    Hiking with Howl - Episode One - Pilot

    In this months episode we explore a spectacular shorter walk in the Peak District. We’ll be passing the waters of the Derwent and Howden reservoirs, famous for The Dambusters of WW2, and taking in the stunning views from Alport Castles. As one of the gems of the Peaks, Alport is the largest land slide in the UK and when approached the direction we come from in the episode it is sure to take your breath away.
