The canal towpath is a wonderful way of walking off a hearty pub lunch and is highly recommended (unless of course one is unsteady on ones feet after a plethora of ale). Gnosall is a lovely village full of bloom and beautiful gardens at every corner.

The landlady was extremely helpful and was happy for me to use the grounds for TOAL.

Peveril Point, Purbeck (By richrab)

Peveril Point is a headland on the east-facing coast of the Isle of Purbeck in Dorset, England, and is part of the town of Swanage. It forms the southern end of Swanage Bay.

The rocks that make up Peveril Point are shale and Portland and Purbeck limestone in a syncline structure. This has resisted erosion more than the adjacent clay of Swanage Bay; whilst the clay has eroded away over time, the limestone has remained as a headland.

On top of Peveril Point is a National Coast watch Institution lookout. The point is also home to Swanage Lifeboat Station.

Peveril Point contains tunnels connecting disused gun emplacements which defended the entrance to Southampton Water from the west of the Isle of Wight during World War II.

TOAL was from the Helicopter Landing "H" to the side of the Coastguard Observation Station.
This area is on the Northern edge of the Portland No Fly Zone, so check in which direction you fly.

No close parking, nearest car park is Broad Road opposite the Pier.

Grey Crag, South Lakeland (By D0c.Col)

Discover one of the most scenic Lake District circular walks starting from Stonethwaite, climbing up to Great Crag, and exploring Grange Fell before looping back. This hike offers breathtaking views, peaceful woodlands, and classic Lakeland landscapes. Perfect for walkers looking for a moderately challenging but rewarding route in Borrowdale.

📍 Route: Stonethwaite → Great Crag → Grange Fell → Return to Stonethwaite
🥾 Distance: ~6–7 miles (approx.)
⏱️ Duration: 3–4 hours (depending on pace)
💡 Highlights: Stunning fell views, hidden tarns, and a quiet alternative to the busier Lakeland peaks.

If you’re planning a Lake District hike, or looking for ideas for your next Borrowdale walking route, this circular walk is a fantastic choice!

I parked in Stonethwaite (limited so would have to be early to secure a spot) and the only way to this location is by trekking, I'm afraid. No short cuts, but the views are spectacular.
