@edvones That's great, thanks Mark. Current website provides is shutting down the service, and I have a couple of weeks to shift it to the new place. Lots more flexibility now tho!

[Mountain Safety @MountainSafety]

The website is going thru a major re-write, and I'm struggling for images. If you have an outdoor/hill/mountain picture, especially if it's bad weather, or something that others can learn from, I'd love to hear from you. I can't pay but can certainly credit to you on the site :-)

@SocialHiking @PilgrimChris @backpackartist @louse94 @SPOT_LLC I could probably replace a Spot2. DM me Phil

@PilgrimChris @backpackartist @louse94 @SPOT_LLC @SocialHiking I have a spare Connect (which I use personally) courtesy of @backpackartist . I could be interested in a Gen3 to replace an aging SPOT2. DM me

@PilgrimChris @backpackartist @louse94 @SPOT_LLC @SocialHiking Yep, never had to keep any from anyone. But if it comes back in 6 pieces...

Winter's back... are you prepared? Do you carry a survival bag of any kind? If not, you should. If you do, consider an upgrade to a Blizzard bag. Read more here https://t.co/PnQSb0ZSub

A reminder of a terrible tragedy. The walk is for the group, not the instructor...

The winter school trip which ended in tragedy with five pupils freezing to death https://t.co/IMS4HPW6xD

Winter has arrived on the hills. How would you cope if you had to sit & wait to be rescued? Do you carry a survival bag? https://t.co/ypro7oL49A

It's torch time of year folks. Don't get caught out by one less walking hour from tomorrow, whem clocks go back https://t.co/Pqoa2TOd9T

[Mountain Safety @MountainSafety]

Wise words. Always take a torch, especially at this time of year!

[Mountain Rescue England and Wales @MountainResqUK]

Mobile phones can be really useful in an emergency so don't waste your battery power as a torch. An LED headtorch is so easy to include in your pack, especially at this time of year.

[Mountain Safety @MountainSafety]

Clocks go back 2am Sunday. This means one hour less daylight, which kind of matters when on the hill. Plan ahead and make sure everyone in the group has a good torch, that is tested and working.

[Met Office @metoffice]

The clocks go back on Sunday - do you love the lighter mornings? Or are you down on the darker evenings? 🕰️
