planning future walk.
Thu, 10 Jul 2008 18:35:08 +0100
hi everyone.
Seriously looking at possibilities for walking from the midlands (DERBY) to
the south coast, ideally Southampton or portsmouth area.
Although in the very early stages my thoughts are to find a path to

Ordnance Survey website
Thu, 10 Jul 2008 04:28:42 -0700 (PDT)
Anyone know what's happening with the OS website today? I haven't
been able to access their main site or the Get-a-map service all day.
My website uses their "Open Space" API to access maps from their
servers, and this isn't working either.

Pyrenees, where to start?
Wed, 9 Jul 2008 13:07:16 +0100
I am planning to make my first visit to the Pyrenees in August (probably
not the best time but no choice). At 61 I am reasonably fit, but prefer
long walks with great views rather than bagging peaks, although a peak
with good views of higher peaks would be cool.
I have been to the Picos de Europa many times, b ...

kit recommendations for GR20
Wed, 9 Jul 2008 00:02:08 +0100
G'day people
My son is off to Corsica in 2 weeks to walk the GR 20 (in an organised
