I'm typing this in a bit of a flap....
Having reached the end of my very short tether regarding my under-performing antiquated laptop and its very own personalised geriatric copy of win-doze.... in a peak of fury I decided to completely wipe it and install windows from scratch AGAIN.

Anyway, the machine's looking alright now and it's got a new lease of life. The only thing left to do is install a few pieces of software - no doubt crippling windows in the process.

Well I was planning a large-scale jaunt out to the Dark Peak tomorrow with my mate Ben, but as I type it's bloody hammering down with snow, the forecast for Edale for tomorrow is snow, rain and twenty five mile an hour winds.... the sort of thing you really ought not to be clambering about on a large millstone grit escarpment in.
So we've pared back the expedition and we're doing the 12.5 mile Colne Valley Circular - a route I know quite well - and which provides us with several safe bail-out zones where we can curtail the adventure with no harm done.
Right now I am cursing the snow and desperately trying to find the Memory Map software and the routes that I've created......
This is the life of a windows user that goes out walking in the snow!
