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

Macmillan Way (Boston to Barmouth) becoming famous?

 Tuesday 14th February 2023

With Blogger there is a backroom where everything is composed and correlated called Blogger Dashboard. There I can see"Statistics" which show me amongst other things the number of daily pageviews, Unfortunately I can't see who the viewers are. Recently there has obviously been a binge on my daily posts titled "Boston to Barmouth" when I walked that route also known as one of the Macmillan Ways - 290 miles, 22 days,  from 20th May 2015. It seems there have usually been  three pageviews for each day.

The whole of that "Statistics" info is a source of mystery to me. I think  Internet search engines boost the numbers, but this looks more like somebody is accessing these particular posts for personal use.

Intriguing. I wonder who?

By the way all three of the Macmillan Ways are superb backpacking trips.

  1. Interesting.
    The statistics I get from Word Press are similar - lies, damned lies and statistics.
    They don't always add up with the views.
    This last couple of weeks my posts on the Wyre mentioning St. Michaels have been heavily viewed for probably the wrong reason. They will gain nothing from them.
    For fun, I titled one of my cycle rides along cycle path 69 at Lancaster 'Soixante neuf', the post is still getting lots of hits.

  2. BC - Was not aware of the significance of that number and had to Google - must have lived a sheltered life?
