About Me

Winter Hill ,Horwich, UK
About Me Jake ,I am 11 years old and have Autism. This Blog is about what I can do not what I cannot,sometimes people think I cannot because I have autism ,this blog is about challenging that!I have lots of special interests, in particular running, exploring and this blog shows a small amount of what I get up to! Please be careful as some of activities I do may look easy are not , I know Winter Hill very well I can get off safely and know what to do when the weather closes in ,to keep myself safe I use high performance clothing and footwear,waterproof/ breathable/reflective/thermal layers. in layers so I keep warm and dry , I take my safety seriously and I always take care when out exploring. My dad is very experienced on the fells he is teaching me how to keep safe.I can use a map and compass, the hills can be windy , very cold, be wet , misty and boggy. STAY SAFE! check out under my link's for advice on safety from Bowland and Pennine Mountain rescue.

Hi pal, looked like you really enjoyed the mooch! Wish my Dad took me in a mine when I was your age :) Anyway, here's a link to a picture of Rivington Pike circa 1910. (Note it is already out of use and the ground level, it's eroded a lot in the last century hasn't it?) http://www.boltonmuseums.org.uk/collections/local-history/social-history-images/200299/imageFile Keep up the good work. on underground in Wales

  1. Magic Winter Hill - see it every day from work in Blackpool and saw it everyday from where I used to live in Tottington. I get every chance to clamber up some hill or other - this side of the Pennines is best!
