Pete's Walks - Latest News and Site History


This page is in reverse chronological order, so that the latest news and the most recent changes are at the top of the page.

Note: I add walks to the Walks Diary section as and when I do them. I alter the 'Last update' date on the home page each time I do so. I do not update this page for each new walk, I only update this page when I make other changes to the site.

Latest news Remember that you can keep up with what I'm doing by monitoring the Walks Diary section of this site.
