I more than familiar with trekking in the UK .. I get about a bit :).

Wales is excellent for trekking but you only seemed to cover the North of the country there is some excellent walking to be had in the South of the country too – most notably the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path, in my mind some of the most stunning coastal scenery in to be had in the UK and also the beautiful Brecon Beacons national park is worth a visit.

One area of the country you haven’t mentioned is Yorkshire. If your heading to the UK and you like your trekking then you should try to visit either the Yorkshire Dales or the North Yorkshire moors, stunning scenery and lovely people – I might be biased on this point as I’m sat looking out over the Yorkshire Dales National Park as I type this 🙂

The other main trekking are in the UK that you haven’t mentioned is the Lake District which is located in England’s NW. This area can get busy in peak season but you can easily find yourself alone with the scenery once you get your boots on!

I have to admit Leah that I did have that problem. The first time I actually had to speak to somebody was in a gas station, 11pm, and there was a hurricane threat. Didn’t understand zip. Nada! lol

I used to work with someone who was from Wales. I couldn’t understand a word that came out of her mouth. I asked if she was speaking Welch and she obviously wasn’t. LOL. Did you find yourself in my same shoes?
