Believe it or not, this thing actually started as a place to convey site news and share trip reports as a means of a teaser for new additions to the photo gallery. Within months, it began to gain a life of its own with musings of outdoors activities such as hillwalking, cycling and photography all finding their way on here. The first of these is the major focus these days and never seems to fail to yield something new to be shared, whether it's an idea for a trip away, something new in the outdoors media, a new piece of outdoors gear or even mental meanderings induced by the weather or the wonder of nature. I hope that you find something of interest, whatever it might happen to be.

Fresh air at last!

Since my post on walking hibernation, I have managed to get out and about in the dry chilly air that has joined us recently. Last Thursday saw me take a day off work to wander through some of hill country that lines the Cheshire-Derbyshire border. That has been followed by a sortie into the Shropshire Hills AONB to savour the delights of the Long Mynd near Church Stretton. More details should follow but I have ended a spell where explorations of hill country did not take up as much time as I might have liked. It remains to be seen how much festive walking might get done, though.
