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.

Met Office Mountain Weather

The Met Office have started to offer website weather widgets so here are the mountain weather ones for a quick spot of location planning for that next hill outing. After all, it cannot hurt to have all the areas that they cover on a single page rather than having to go from post to pillar to get the same information. That's never to say that you shouldn't go the venerable Mountain Weather Information Service too. For one thing, they cover more areas and it's never a bad thing to get a second opinion.
