I have kept walk notes for about eleven years. Paper notebooks first, then a notes app, then — briefly and regrettably — a social platform.

The platform was the mistake. Not because anyone was unpleasant; they weren't. Because four years of notes and photographs lived somewhere I did not control, in a format I could not export properly, arranged by an algorithm that had opinions about which walk mattered. When I tried to get it all back I got a zip file of images with numeric filenames and none of the text.

So: a website. Plain HTML on a server I rent for a few pounds a month. Nothing clever. No comments, no newsletter, no analytics — I genuinely do not want to know how many people read this, because the moment I know, I will start writing for the number.

The posts are generated on my phone and uploaded over SFTP. If the app I use to do that disappears tomorrow, the site keeps working, because it is only files. That was the requirement.

What goes here: walks, mostly in the Peak and the South Pennines because that's what's an hour away. Weather, because it is the actual subject of walking in England. Occasional kit, only when a thing has been used long enough to have an opinion about.

What doesn't: routes as GPX, because there are better places for that, and I'd rather you looked at a map.

There's an RSS feed if you want it. That's the whole of the audience strategy.
