Thanks for dropping by. What is now my hillwalking blog started out as a place to put hillwalking trip reports and photo gallery update news. It has since blossomed from those beginnings to take on a life of its own, with the aforementioned being complemented by related topics such as plans for future outings, walking books, outdoors gear, weather, travel and the wonder of nature. Enjoy.

A burst of inspiration

Monday, June 30th, 2008

For one reason or another, this past June has involved me pondering hill wandering treks rather than doing very many of them. That still means ideas for the blog but having them is one thing but making something out of them is yet another. In fact, an idea can transform into something very different on its execution. For instance, I still have do another part of my Argyll trip report for May and that has spawned thoughts of walking that I have done while on excursions based in Oban, an idea for another post. Then, there are thoughts of places where I haven’t visited for a while and those that I have yet to reach. Among the latter are the Western Isles (otherwise known as the Outer Hebrides or Na hEileanan an Iar) and the prospect of spending some time there this summer has prompted another idea for a posting on here. It’s amazing what can come from meandering through the countryside in the mind whilst comfortably seated in one’s armchair. Even so, I really need to get out in the countryside for real rather than using the virtual reality opportunities of the theatre of the skull. Hopefully, July will offer some chances.
