It's that time of year. They were all out practising in Derbyshire a few weeks back. There were clumps of orange spots all over the back of Stanage in places they didn't ought to have been. It's good sport to help them with their map reading and send them in the wrong direction. Not that I'd ever do a thing like that.Tony Bennetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11587011681927202159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-177918675979573010.post-70756267011507715852012-07-04T18:08:41.037+01:002012-07-04T18:08:41.037+01:00There's certainly some cracking and remote cam...There's certainly some cracking and remote camping spots, I noticed.. a person could disappear for a week with a book and a quart of cheap scotch...Mike Knipehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12792636586674245725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-177918675979573010.post-51565063311908409462012-07-04T13:31:24.417+01:002012-07-04T13:31:24.417+01:00Expert?

What can I say..? Its very good. Its important for each blog to have it's own style both in layout and in the content/ideas/language. One day in the future, historians will declare how useful it is to read the 21st century blogs.
