Now you have bought your outdoor clothing online – where to go in 2014? Why not follow The Doctor on his travels.
So you have fully kitted out in boots, action trousers, fleece and rucksack, so with all your outdoor clothing online bargains where are you heading in 2014? Well with a certain BBC programme celebrating its 50th Anniversary this year, why not follow in the steps of The Doctor at some of the places he has visited over the years. So here are some of the Doctors adventures.
Arundel Park, in West Sussex (standing in for Windsor Castle) was visited by the Seventh Doctor, played by Sylvester McCoy in the story Silver Nemesis, featuring the Cybermen, a 17th century sorceress and modern day Nazis, all battling for control of a living statue. There are a number of walks around the Park varying in distance up to around eight miles with plenty to see including forest and lakes as well as the castle itself.
The Tenth Doctor, played by David Tennant visited Bad Wolf Bay in Norway, but we all know it as Southerdown Bay in Bridgend. This South Wales beach has stratified cliffs and what seem like endless sands and has been a great location for the modern Doctors. As well as saying his tearful farewell to Rose, it was also used by Matt Smith’s Doctor as the crash site of a starship in the story ‘The Time of Angels’ so if you do visit remember don’t blink. There is a seven mile linear walk available for this area which includes some great wildlife and scenery to enjoy
Ever wanted to visit Gallifrey, the home planet of the Time Lords? Well join the Fifth Doctor’s (Peter Davidson) trip home in the 20th Anniversary story and visit Carreg y Foel-gron in Snowdonia which stood in for the Death Zone outside the Capitol. This wonderfully desolate area lies east of Llan Ffestiniog in the foothills of the Arenig hills. In the mists you can imagine coming up against Yeti, Cybermen and the fearsome Raston Robot. But for the more down to earth this peat-heavy moorland provides great walking with stunning views across Snowdonia.
Want to visit the Highlands of Scotland but can’t get north of the border, then join the Second Doctor (Patrick Troughton) in his 1966 story ‘The Highlanders’ on Fresham Common in Surrey. This 200 acre site of heathland passed itself off as a mountain pass and battlefield, with the Frensham Great Pond impersonated a Scottish loch. A purely historical adventure for the Doctor, but you can look out for many species of birds here such as sedge warbler and great crested grebe. In warmer months damselflies and dragonflies can be seen around the ponds, and the heathland offers a colourful mosaic of heathers, gorse and bracken as well as ancient oaks and pines to experience. This is now an internationally important area for the variety of rare and endangered wildlife that thrive on the heath and is a Site of Special Scientific Interest, a Special Protection Area and a Special Area of Conservation. Not bad for an area that was originally built in the 13th century to supply fish to the Bishop of Winchester.
