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.

Discoveries, discoveries…

The prospect of seeing something new has often been a great motivator for me when it comes to enjoying the outdoors. The sunny weather on Monday had me out and about locally only for me to discover a reservoir within the town of Macclesfield that I didn’t even know was there; I have been living around these parts for eight years and I still keep finding new things. Speaking of discoveries, I made one yesterday that I’d rather have not seen: a manifestation of the Internet Explorer "peekaboo" bug on my new thumbnail gallery pages. Some of the image caption text wasn’t being displayed and last night’s being dull allowed for a night in to quash the thing after a combination of googling and tinkering. Being a Linux and Firefox user, I suppose that I slipped up on my IE testing but that’s another reminder of an old lesson. Anyway, all’s well now and my mind is again free to turn its attention out of doors, opportunities allowing.
