	<description>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.</description>

		<description><![CDATA[Cheshire has seen many a fast moving spotty rain shower pass over it today and the Met Office&#39;s online rain radar shows more Ireland. In between those, there have been spells of alluring sunshine of the kind that makes wonderful photos. How is it that you need a session of rain for the sunlight to [...]]]></description>

It was almost as if a foretaste of Autumn was being put our way already. When you end up getting a wetting in that kind of deluge, you have to ask if reservoirs are filling up [...]]]></description>

However, I didn&#39;t waste the wonderful weather that came to us entirely because I got out my bike and travelled along some of the local lanes; it&#39;s not the first time that&#160;the handy machine&#160;afforded a quick escape [...]]]></description>

Some years, this change creeps up on me no matter how hard I try not to miss it until it&#39;s nearly done. This year, I seem to be catching it as it progresses. The [...]]]></description>
