TR: Frosty South Downs
Tue, 28 Oct 2008 14:22:41 -0000
Winter has arrived in the south! No snow, but plenty of frost around this
morning with clear blue skies. Fantastic walking conditions, so not to let
a good morning go to waste, I had 'another' early start to the day. Didn't
want to drive too far, so chose one of my favourite routes, a 10 mile
circuit over B ...

Knock hill and Bin of Cullen
Sat, 18 Oct 2008 11:46:07 -0700 (PDT)
Had a great pair of walks today I'd reccomend to anyone - especially
with the clear skies & autumn colours that were on show today.
Went up Knock Hill (Thanks to Richard Webb for the car park tip at
Swilebog NJ547553), short steep open hill with great views south to
Aberdeenshire, west to the Buck & Ben Rhinnes ...

Nokia N96 GPS viewranger and other software questions
Fri, 17 Oct 2008 22:05:04 +0100
Ok so its time for my etrex legend to hang up its boots and I need
another gps walking solution.
I've just purchased a Nokia n96 with in built GPS but am finding it
unsuitable.
The inluilt software is more car oriented so theres no OSGB grid ref
which is an absolute must for me so I can refer to map if necess ...

Slightly OT: Feet
Fri, 10 Oct 2008 14:30:02 +0100
Well, they are needed for walking I suppose so only slightly off-topic :o)
Right, during winter I normally wear aircushion-soled trainers and socks and
my feet aren't particularly smelly - certainly no worse than anyone else's
and most of the time I could say that they don't smell at all.
Come the warmer we ...

Going to Western Australia for a month or so on holiday shortly and was
thinking about buying some lightweight footwear that I can use there for

Your suggestions will be appreciated.

OMM - fantasy figures.
Mon, 27 Oct 2008 18:58:43 -0000
Just watched Tyneside and Cumbria's BBC Look North and it's now mentioned
with "emphasis" on the search and rescue cost at hundreds of thousand of
pounds.
How, and more importantly who is creating these stupid figures?
1. MRT = Volunteer, donations by charity.
2. RAF = defence budget, if they don't fly th ...

uk.rec.walking website
Sun, 26 Oct 2008 14:37:26 -0000
I've purchased a suitable domain for uk.rec.walking and it's now online.
I've also purchase the non-hyphenated version, which redirects to the
following URL.
http://www.uk-rec-walking.co.uk
Take a quick look if you want. There's only a placeholder page on there at
the moment, but it includes one of my favo ...

Wilderness Images
Sun, 26 Oct 2008 14:11:19 -0000
After much thought, I recently decided to split my website into two separate
sites, Wilderness Wales and Wilderness Images.
The main reason for this is that my site was about "landscape photography
and walking", which are two separate subjects. To me, they are inseparable,
but not to everyone. Some walkers he ...
