David Jordan
Hiking, trekking and camping since a young age, David Jordan's earliest memories of walking adventures were family holidays, let loose among trees and fields with a Kodak 'instamatic' camera and notebook. Many years on, little has changed, although the boots are bigger and camera technology has definitely improved. Still the highlights of each passing year are the opportunities to roam, explore, photograph and document what was found. David has hiked and camped extensively across much of the higher ground of the UK, Europe and Norway, as well as the US. A first taste of long-distance walking started with a circuit of the Tour du Mont Blanc in 1992 and led through sections of the Appalachian Trail to a full thru-hike of the Pacific Crest Trail in 2016. Returning to the Alps David spent four years researching and exploring the Grande Traversata Delle Alpe. In 2023 David hiked the PCT for a second time and became one of fewer than 200 people ever to thru-hike the trail more than once. When not travelling David lives on the Arnside and Silverdale peninsula, a designated 'area of outstanding natural beauty' on the edge of the English Lake District with his wife and dog.

Short Walks in Arnside and Silverdale - David Jordan
David Jordan
David’s earliest memories of walking adventures were family holidays, let loose among trees and fields with a Kodak ‘instamatic’ camera and notebook. Many years on and little has changed (except perhaps the size of the boots). Still the highlights of each passing year are the opportunities to roam, explore, photograph and document what was found. Since Arnside and Silverdale became home in 2019, he has travelled less and been exploring much more locally, astounded by the sheer variety on his doorstep.

USING THIS GUIDE
Routes in this book
In this book you will find a selection of easy or moderate walks suitable for almost everyone, including casual walkers and families with children, or for when you only have a short time to fill. The routes have been carefully chosen to allow you to explore the area and its attractions. Most routes are circular, although some linear walks may be included that use public transport to get back to the start. Although there may be some climbs there is no challenging terrain, but do bear in mind that conditions can sometimes be wet or muddy underfoot. A route summary table is included to help you choose the right walk.
Clothing and footwear
You won’t need any special equipment to enjoy these walks. The weather in Britain can be changeable, so choose clothing suitable for the season and wear or carry a waterproof jacket. For footwear, comfortable walking boots or trainers with a good grip are best. A small rucksack for drinks, snacks and spare clothing is useful. See www.adventuresmart.uk.
Walk descriptions
At the beginning of each walk you’ll find all the information you need:
start/finish location, with postcode and a what3words address to help you find it
parking and transport information, estimated walking time, total distance and climb
details of public toilets available along the route and where you can get refreshments
a summary of the key highlights of the walk and what you might see
Timings given are the time to complete the walk at a reasonable walking pace. Allow extra time for extended stops or if walking with children.
The route is described in clear, easy-to-follow directions, with each waypoint marked on an accompanying map extract. It’s a good idea to read the whole of the route instructions before setting out, so that you know what to expect.
Maps, GPX files and what3words
Extracts from the OS 1:25,000 map accompany each route. GPX files for all the walks in this book are available to download at www.cicerone.co.uk/1158/gpx.

Walking with children
