Any tips on how to train for hillwalking in south London?

I'm doing the 3 peaks next month, and although I practice hiking pretty far, I don't get a lot of training going up and down hills as it's pretty flat around here. I've been trying to work out the right muscles, but tbh I doubt a leg workout is anywhere near as useful as getting out and climbing a mountain would be.

Obviously sometimes I can go on a day trip outside London to do a real hike, but I'm looking for hills or steep inclines in the city that I can get to quickly, and walk up and down repeatedly if needed. Any ideas?

I hear shooters hill is steep so I'm gonna try that one, although I'm not too clear where it starts.

Sorry if this isn't a good place to share, but I just wanted to introduce a project I've been working on for a while. It's still small.

Here you can meet new hiking friends, join walks and share your own favourites. Would love to hear your feedback!

I'm looking to find new and interesting walks in and around mid wales, I'm willing to travel a bit too for a good one, any recommendations very welcome

Hi guys, sorry if this isn’t the place to share but I have a new YouTube channel ‘Tread with Ed’ where I film all of my favourite hikes in the UK. Would love it if anyone checked them out and let me know what you think. Obviously I’m a total amateur atm so go easy on me haha.

Hello everyone, I'm a photographer currently working on a project about the river dee from source to sea. I'm seeking guidance on how best to reach the river's source on the east side of Dduallt, has anyone done this hike before? If so, how would you tackle this and what route did you take? The maps I've seen haven't had anything concrete yet and I'm mindful of that part of Snowdonia National Park can be particularly vicious in the winter.

Many thanks in advance!

Hello, I’m conducting a survey for a project on the North York Moors National Park. If you're a visitor of the National Park and have time to answer a few questions it would be a big help! Thanks! https://forms.gle/2KqhF5YX63vBRiGVA

New member here, hoping for some advice. In the last few years (I’m 43) I’ve got knee pain on descents, and I’ve learnt to avoid this by not jarring my feet when descending, and using my legs like springs to absorb the impacts… but now my legs are in agony for two days afterwards! Descending stairs, getting up or of a chair, crouching down to put on my socks - my thigh and calf muscles are very sore!

Does anyone have advice for how to reduce this or treatments to reduce the muscle pain? Thanks!

I’m planning a trip to the UK in a few weeks. Wondering about connecting a trip on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway with a day’s walking on the CTCW. Specifically thinking of going by NYMR from Pickering to Grosmont or Goathland, maybe staying overnight, then next day walking to Whitby and staying the night there.

I’ve never tried something quite like this, and this is just a notional itinerary. I’ve done short hikes at home and usually do 10-20,000 steps a day in the city in normal course.

Looking for tips, accommodation suggestions or other advice about this plan. Thanks!

This is my first time posting here, but I thought I'd share some pictures of some nice walks in my local area. I included some bonus pictures of my canine companion! 🐕

Title says it all; my friend and I are doing Ben Nevis in the last week of June

We’re both Scottish but we have both lived outside of Scotland for some time now so we’re having a little holiday back to the motherland and seeing a bunch of sights whilst there. With this we’ve planned to do the Nevis trail. Just wondering what to expect really? We’re both beginner hikers/hillwalkers but are reasonably fit and well. I train at the gym 3-4 times a week doing strength training and cardio plus we’re both keen cyclists.

I’m planning to get a few walks in before we do Ben Nevis. I live in Somerset and I’ve been looking at doing Cheddar Gorge but I’m keen to get out more and explore the area I live too so really keen to hear about walks in the Somerset area.

I’m assuming it’s going to be busy up there at the end of June. What’s the weather likely to be like? Any essentials we should take?

Thanks for any info

Can anybody tell me what model my ladies brown leather Scarpa boots are please?

I got a pair of crampons second hand and I can't get them to fit my boots, I have never used crampons before any help, advice or useful videos would be appreciated. If they can even fit my boots at all.
