	<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[Apparently, my late Uncle Jim had a fascination for exploring the byways of his local stomping ground and I am left wondering if my own inclinations come from the same gene pool. For instance, an unexpectedly Sunday morning from more than a week ago&#160;was the cause of dragging me out on my bike for a [...]]]></description>

The weekend before saw me checking out the travel possibilities for Keswick while pondering the reality of a day outing to Dyffryn Ardudwy was what was to follow it. The trouble with the latter is that the last train back is often at around 16:30 [...]]]></description>

Since then, it has not been possible to put away the down jackets just yet and that is set to stay for the course of the week by the appearance of things. It [...]]]></description>

One cause was a memory block and a certain loss of chronology in the trip report postings. Along with this, end of year fatigue and lack of inspiration had their parts to play too. The latter [...]]]></description>

Until now, Anquet&#39;s established offering in the digital mapping arena was restricted to areas on Great Britain.

The original idea had been to walk from Minffordd to Dolgellau by way of Cadair Idris. It simply was to be a case of following the Minffordd Path up and the Pony Path down before making for my destination [...]]]></description>

It only takes a few hours so that makes it a good option for a short winter&#8217;s day. With the extra daylight of a spring [...]]]></description>

Certainly, the year will not be remembered for having a sunny summer and many were disappointed, even if it did have its better interludes. [...]]]></description>
