At the bottom of each post there is the word "comments". If you click on it you will see comments made by followers, and if you follow the instructions you may also comment and I always welcome that. I have found many people overlook this part of the blog which is often more interesting than the original post!

My blog nick-name is SIR HUGH. I'm not from the aristocracy - my middle name is Hugh which relates to the list of 282 hills in Scotland compiled by Sir Hugh Munro in 1891. I climbed my last one (Sgurr Mor) on 28th June 2009

OS footpaths

I mistakenly identified the "path" on my last walk as a path but it turns out to be a parish boundary. No wonder I had a hard time over that rough moorland.

Thanks to Bowland Climber for putting me right. I was aware of the similarity but perhaps had a bout of wishful thinking.

  1. I find the symbols on OS maps can be a little confusing sometimes. Especially as I generally only look at them on Bing Maps and there's no key on there!

  2. Paul - This is a minor lapse in their unusually exemplary presentation.

  3. Yes, they’re remarkably similar and easily confused.

  4. Ruth - at least the paths are shown in England. As you well know you have to find them for yourself in Scotland.
