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.

Collected Long Distance Trails

As part of my ongoing pruning of the blog's sidebar, the listing of long distance trails got moved here. It's one that's almost certain to grow as I come across more contenders and there many more out there to be encountered in Britain and Éire, as perusal of any OS, Harveys, OSNI or OSi map is bound to confirm to you. In addition to new trails, I may even get around to adding some summary musings on any of those along which I have had the opportunity to hike and there have only been a few of these thus far.
