	<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>

Another bit of electronic fiddling was the cause of bringing the background colour to my notice The new year has yet to see a proper piece of outdoors action.

		<description><![CDATA[Because my head for heights is far from being in the top tier, I usually watch the gradients that I am crossing so to avoid ever being frozen by fright. The same consideration means that scrambling is not one of my outdoor pursuits and may explain why climbing holds no appeal for me. Nevertheless, that [...]]]></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>

		<description><![CDATA[While out on&#160;a trot from Langdale to Ambleside on Saturday, I spotted a stark notice on a gate. It was on a path leading towards the Langdale Pikes and issuing a strong message that ice axe and crampons were needed above 300 metres in height; I myself was staying low with plenty of hillside bereft [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are times when you leaned something new that you wonder why you didn&#8217;t find it before. My discovery is that I have in my possession a part of boots that take crampons even if their maker recommends emergency use. The boots in question are the Scarpa ZG10&#8216;s that have featured on here a few [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Access to the countryside has always been a contentious area and recent piece of blundering of mine along a public footpath returned that very much to mind (I ended up straying away from where I should have been to earn some yelling from a passing gent atop a quad bike on a nearby road).

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s winter again and IÂ for one have come aroundÂ to the notionÂ that this time of year has much to offer those who enjoy the countryside.
