	<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[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>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday evening and overnight, a white blanket arrived in and around Macclesfield. A company Christmas night out meant that I was out in Manchester to see the white stuff blanketting there and Stockport too. Again the south of England seems to have been affected too with Twitter awash with transport companies telling what services are [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For whatever reason, I retain a soft spot for Cicerone guidebooks and have amassed a collection of them. Whether it is the handy presentation, the descriptions, the included maps or the authoritative coverage of many parts of Britain and beyond, I cannot say exactly but all must play a part in the buying decisions.

It was there before I set off on a winter airborne crossing of the Irish Sea and remained to welcome me back on my return. That&#39;s not to say that it isn&#39;t causing [...]]]></description>

What I do know is that I&#8217;d be extremely surprised if it was me and I hope that I haven&#8217;t disappointed you with that admission. For one thing, I don&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

Shorter days and colder air are part and parcel of things in winter but cut your cloth according to your measure and you may begin to think that summer is overrated. [...]]]></description>

Of course, any plan that results is going to [...]]]></description>

Of course, they are nothing like Irishman Pat Falvey&#8216;s recently successful Beyond Endurance expedition to the South Pole. The Antarctic attracted its fair share of Irish with names like Bransfield, Shackleton, Crean, Keohane, Forde and McCarthy gracing the history of the continent&#8217;s exploration [...]]]></description>

Being easily persuaded, I acquired a copy to see what&#8217;s in the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I mentioned Rucksack Readers in an earlier post but I thought that I&#8217;d say a bit more about them. They offer a range of guidebooks covering trails in Scotland, Ireland and beyond. The idea is that you carry them in your rucksack while out on the trail. Consequently, they are waterproof and lightweight. Added bonuses [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In a previous post, I mused over the idea of visiting the Western Isles and walking there. Leafing through my copy of this month&#8217;s TGO, I spotted a book review that caught my attention: Peter Clark&#8217;s The Outer Hebrides: The Timeless Way. The review seemed favourable so I might just pick up a copy myself. [...]]]></description>
