	<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[Weatherwise, 2012 started like a lion in some parts with Scotland getting a particular battering. Before that the second day of the year saw me crossing hills to pop over to Buxton. That act planted in my mind the prospect of exploring more of Macclesfield&#8217;s hills this year. However, the following weekend was a quiet [...]]]></description>

Saying that, it seems that its bank holiday weekends didn&#8217;t fare two badly and the start of the month saw me head to the Appleby-in-Westmorland for a spot of wandering about the Upper Eden Valley in pleasant weather.
