One of my favorite online magazines is called Grough: The inside view of the outside world

Here is how they describe the site:
"grough is an independently owned site offering the most up-to-date news and features about outdoors activities.

grough offers the chance to join an online outdoor community with access to Ordnance Survey mapping, aerial photography and ready-made routes plus the chance to create your own routes using mapping covering the whole of Britain.

And, in case you wondered, grough is named after those deep channels found on peat moorland."



A grough on Kinder Scott. Here in the southwest USA, we'd call that an arroyo.

Many of the articles in this 'magazine' are about rescues. The one I was reading tonight was about how the rescuers praised an injured hiker's efforts to hobble out on his own because it would have been so difficult to rescue him on a stretcher.

This is what he hobbled off of:


Tryfan's North Ridge in Wales

My goodness, would you look at those mountains? They probably aren't high in altitude above sea level, but definitely not wimpy. Over there they call this a 'scramble' meaning an arduous hike or climb over rough terrain.

There is a members' forum on this site, and this is one of the posts. I would love to hear someone pronounce these place names.

"Carnedd Llewelyn from Cwm Eigiau

I took a walk into Cwm Eigiau last week and attempted to find the scramble onto Bwlch Eryl Farchog.

We started up at grid SH696 636,following what appeared to be a well used path but this faded and resulted in a very difficult scramble to the ridge.
Has anyone been up this way and have the grid from where they started?"
