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.

A day of snow

Sunday, December 20th, 2009

I cannot say that I ever remember to have seen as much snow fall as I have seen today while finishing off those Christmas communications (all the best to you and yours, by the way). So many showers were coming in that it was next to constant. There were some thoughts about an outdoors outing but I reconsidered the sense of such a venture with what was falling outside. Visibility looked ropey atop the hills that lay outside my window so it might have been best to await clear day with snow remaining on the ground. Any plans for a stroll cannot assume the usual pace of travel though. Buses were travelling but tomorrow will tell its own story as to the transport system copes with everyone being out and about.
