I have a love/hate relationship with technology - at the moment I feel like a bit of a rest from it and doing something more creative. I feel another Photoshop painting coming on.<br /><br />BC- Hi John. I'm glad you enjoyed the WW - I did. I bet you never knew you were within a couple of kilometres of the centre of the UK (including the islands!) when you were climbing on Thorn Crag.<br /><br />I can see we're going to have to send you on a tech. course.Sir Hughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17908756392825206914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365582190126322848.post-21870708804653008092013-01-17T18:31:34.116+00:002013-01-17T18:31:34.116+00:00Thanks for an interesting walk along the WYRE WAY,...Thanks for an interesting walk along the WYRE WAY, there are downloadable maps available for this 45mile route from the coast.<br />www.visitwyre.co.uk/xsdbimgs/WyreWay.pdf <br />Looks good for a winters walk over 3days.<br />I read the brown bits but still non the wiser.<br />Tarnbrook is a lost hamlet. It is however a good centre for walks around Wards Stone etc. <br />We always parked there to go climbing on Thorn Crag seen above the valley. Years ago we would often be evicted from the rocks by the shooting guardian who lived in the hamlet and was in a good position to spot you. Now with,thankfully, the CROW act access is no problem. The same people who used to shout abuse at us now give us a friendly wave as we walk up to the crags!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365582190126322848.post-42890094767402843552013-01-16T19:02:34.907+00:002013-01-16T19:02:34.907+00:00Apparently it is possible (although not cheap) to ...Apparently it is possible (although not cheap) to transfer photos from your camera to your phone in the field. Have a look at Erin's review of the 'AirStash' here: http://www.walkingwithwired.com/2013/01/updating-gear-for-cdt.html<br /><br />(Incidentally, it was entirely down to Erin that we came to walk a section of the PCT. Not at all relevant to the subject, but I just thought I'd throw that fact in!)Gaylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08648378503343413924noreply@blogger.com
