	<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[The last few months have been hectic at work and that has impeded any incursions into the outdoors during what has been a lengthy spell of settled weather. That isn&#39;t to say that I haven&#39;t been out at all. After all, I got away to Ireland over the weekend. In a change for me, I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last weekend saw me follow a flight of fancy in that I journeyed up to Fort William on the Sleeper from Crewe. A forecast showing some sunshine was what unleashed me but the reality was more foggy when I reached Fort William. Incidentally, it was very foggy when I left Crewe too but that didn&#39;t [...]]]></description>

Temperatures fell on a Sunday night after a fairly pleasant day&#160;that saw me fail to get out into the open air as I would have liked. What followed it was a&#160;day that mixed&#160;fine crisp winter sun and typical November misty murkiness. Some [...]]]></description>

One of the effects of&#160;that state of affairs&#160;is that Edinburgh and Manchester are nearly lined up in a straight north-south line, even if shadowing the coast and finding a line [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Midsummer in 2008 might have been a time when I felt that the year had peaked and the encroachment of unsettled weather may have had something to do with that view. 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>

During previous Scottish outings, I have been known to explore Mull, Iona and Arran with Caledonian Macbrayne (Calmac to one and all) getting me to and from the islands in question. An Easter excursion to Arran involved an overnight stay but Mull and Iona [...]]]></description>
