	<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>

Along the way, there may have been a lot of poking around backups to get things sorted but there are also were reminders of places where I haven&#8217;t been for a while as [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While the weather did its best yesterday to lure us into thinking that a heatwave was in progress, today has proven that it wasn&#39;t to last long at all. In fact, there&#39;s a stiff northeasterly wind to take the edge of the temperatures. While some may bemoan the cooling down, it does make things better [...]]]></description>

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>

While Macclesfield and Wilmslow came off more lightly than other places, we still have to watch our step while walking about; those pesky areas of black [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I suppose that it might be easier if I lived in Greater Manchester but early Sunday morning getaways from Macclesfield are an impossibility if you are dependent on public transport. Buses don&#8217;t move until around 09:00 and train companies must regard Maxonians as right layabouts given that nothing runs north until at least 10:30 (saying [...]]]></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, 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>

Confusingly, there also is a brochure published by the Welsh Tourist Board with almost the same title but that is a separate entity. While Scotland has TGO, Ireland has Walking World Ireland, and England has both Country Walking and Trail, Wales [...]]]></description>
