	<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[For me, 2011 will have to be seen as one when work very much got in the way of hill wandering. Even if it did, I did get out on quite a few excursions over its course and some of them took me places where I hadn&#8217;t been before then. Also, there was a sense [...]]]></description>

It was enough to get heading to northwest Wales, albeit with a later start that got delayed further thanks to a problem on the West Coast Mainline around its Trent valley section. Nevertheless, my plan to revisit Caernarfon after an absence for quite a few [...]]]></description>

While there was a spot of lawn-mowing, hedge-cutting and other bits and bobs to be done, there were chances for limited immersion in hill country too.
