		<title>Upgrading walk profiles</title>
		<description><![CDATA[No time to do this elegantly as this is my first time working in Linux. Here&#8217;s a screenshot of the new White Cliffs walk profile as it stands now, still in development. The big change will be the addition of online ordering.

		<title>2010 Calendar Now Ready</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve uploaded the new calendar of walks for this year. You can now book a walk anytime up to February 2011. There are a few new routes added, and more to come, which I will be highlighting in posts over the next few days.
One notable addition is the Alice in Wonderland walk, which I&#8217;m putting [...]]]></description>

		<title>Front page of The Times!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[About a month ago, The Times newspapers approached me for help with running a special series of guided country walks for their readers.
So far we&#8217;ve been out four times, to four very different destinations all over the country: the Chiltern Hills, Hampstead Heath, Loch Ordie in Scotland, and most recently the Mendip Hills near Bristol.
Here&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Adding Google Maps</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m replacing the hand-made static route maps on the walk profiles with Google Maps. It&#8217;s taking me a while to encode each route but they should all be done soon. See the profile pages for
The White Cliffs of the Seven Sisters
King Beorthwulf&#8217;s Gardens (Benington Lordship)
Bodiam Castle
Fortress of the Black Swans (Leeds Castle)
as examples.
Benefits of this [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Crab and Winkle Line</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just back from the first walk of the year, a test run of a new route for me. Ben, Felipe, and I walked from Canterbury to Whitstable in Kent, along the course of the Crab &#038; Winkle Line, one of the world&#8217;s first passenger railways.
Too whipped to do much more than post a couple of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Snow. In October!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It snowed here in London tonight. Enough for it to pile up on the tops of cars. We even had a snowball fight outside The Abbey Tavern in Kentish Town.
Weather like this is unheard of here at this time of year. I will check the records tomorrow to see when London last saw snowfall in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Closed for the season. Reason: Freezin&#8217;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Except we&#8217;re not.
Yes the clocks went back yesterday, and yes according to my favorite online UK weather source Metcheck (thanks Dale) it&#8217;s about to feel very cold &#8230;

but I&#8217;ll still be doing walks through the rest of the autumn and winter. It&#8217;s a great time to get outdoors.
This week&#8217;s tentative schedule: Leeds Castle on Thursday, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
WALK REPORT These are some photos from a trip we took back in February &#0150; a visit to Benington Lordship gardens in Hertfordshire. This was at the tail end of winter, with spring imminent. 31 shots. With friends Aleks, Anneli, and Tobi.

1. Goodbye London! Passing through the North London neighborhood of Finsbury Park, on the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Kelvedon – Heybridge Basin, Feb 9th 2008</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
WALK REPORT This was the second trial of my Tiptree cream tea walk. Still needs work to improve the route. Parts of Kelvedon are pretty, but the section from there to Tiptree lacks interest. Also, it&#8217;s a real shame that the old church at Inworth is kept locked &#8211; most of the country churches I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fortress of the Black Swans, Jan 27th 2008</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
WALK REPORT Photos from a walk we did on a crisp winter&#8217;s day in late January. Destination: Leeds Castle. There were six of us on the train out from London Victoria that morning: Sara, Ross, Liz, Miranda, Joe, and myself. The low sun and crystal clear skies made for some nice photography. 24 pics in [...]]]></description>
