	<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[This day last week, a weather front was making its way down Britain throwing out good coverings of snow as it did so. Macclesfield didn&#8217;t escape either though it sounds as if other places got more; there were several inches left on cars in Harlow in Essex last Saturday night. Transport got disrupted too and [...]]]></description>

There&#8217;s Canisbay near John O&#8217;Groats in Caithness, Arden near Loch Lomond and three in the Scottish Borders. These are Broadmeadows, Kirk Yetholm and Melrose.

The plan was to walk south along the High Peak and Tissington trails, both part of the Pennine Bridleway network.
