Some trips to report

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.

Due to a "life event" (as Weird Darren calls them), my attention went away from this blog for a while. Nevertheless, I still got out to do some walking and, now that I’m back, I have two trips to share with you. The most recent of these was a snowy tramp in Northumberland last Saturday and the previous Sunday saw me embark on a muddy hike in Staffordshire’s moorlands. Ground and weather conditions on both walks couldn’t be more different and it only goes to show how huge a period of time that a week can be in weather terms. I’ll write them up separately with the Staffordshire ramble coming first.
