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.

I took the dogs onto the two lads !










































This is Bolton , you can see the peak district in the background



They love to chew plast bottles, its a shame that people leave these behind on winter hill :(

they had a friend today













We had such a great time today , Leo managed to stroke the dogs as well !
thanks Mal !

Note from dad, Jake and Evie and Leo wore wellingtons today ,  the ground was very wet and they wanted to splash in the puddles , Jake is very used to the rough grass and tussocks , please be careful as wellingtons  are not supportive ,I carry  fully protective clothing for each of them just in case even on day like this !
