	<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[Somewhat infuriatingly for me, I am nursing yet another cold as I write these words. Was it the milder winter that made them more prevalent or are those long working hours finally catching up with me? It might be a bit of both in reality and, since it is overcast where I am this weekend, [...]]]></description>

The first outing of the year took me to Wales and trips to other Celtic countries followed before any sort of hike took place on English soil and took until April before it took place.

		<description><![CDATA[This day last week, a weather front was making its way down Britain throwing out good coverings of snow as it did so. Macclesfield didn&#8217;t escape either though it sounds as if other places got more; there were several inches left on cars in Harlow in Essex last Saturday night. Transport got disrupted too and [...]]]></description>

Before that the second day of the year saw me crossing hills to pop over to Buxton. That act planted in my mind the prospect of exploring more of Macclesfield&#8217;s hills this year. However, the following weekend was a quiet [...]]]></description>

As it happens, the skies over Macclesfield are laden with cloud with the sun only getting out from time to time. That means the landscape gets spotlit instead of the full [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Before Christmas 2009, I tried making a start on this round-up but the attempt came to a full stop. 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>

That&#8217;s not to say that guidebooks don&#8217;t get perused as well but there&#8217;s something very immediate about casting one&#8217;s eye over a map.
