If I open a map in Memory Map how do I get rid of it without deleting it from whence it was loaded please? If I simply delete the map it also deletes it from the file I had stored it in. -- Please reply to group,emails to designated address are never read.

Off to the Lake District on Saturday for a couple of weeks, and in the process of planning our routes to increase my collection of Wainwrights. The questions concerns routes taking in Crag Fell, Grike and Lank Rigg. 1. Is there a 'recognisable' route up to Crag Fell, maybe along Ben Gill, from...

Knowing that I would be spending an expensive and unpleasant afternoon in Leeds on Saturday (yesterday), I decided to improve the weekend by going for a walk and testing out my new tent and camping matress. When I drive along the M62, between Manchester and Huddersfield, I always think how much...

Up until now I have used MM, I have found it easy to use. However I now want a map covering the area of OS OL19, now the only way I can get this from MM is make my own selection, they will then generate and send me the relevant map. AS I have The Lake District and The Yorkshire Dales I wish to...

Compo wrote I was puzzled as to how this could happen until I changed into my fireproof clothing to work on the incinerator this morning - my insoles were missing. As soon as I started reading this my immedaite thought was had there been a change in your footwear. It can also happen when we...

Just back from a trip to the Lakes. Talk about wet!! Took a couple of walks around the area but the views were horrendous, as was the wind, yet still strangely enjoyable. Luckily the Old Dungeon Ghyll and the Stickle Barn Tavern were on hand to accept some very wet walkers. Incredible the...

I'm posting this for two reasons. Firstly, the weather's too diabolical to do anything interesting and secondly, it may be of interest to others who find themselves in the same situation. Before I start, Lesley says thanks for the congrats on her epic and thanks from me for the good wishes. It...

Hi Am I right in thinking that orange roads are two-lane while yellow roads are single-track, or is there some overlap? Cheers Eddie

Picture of sixty-five year old mother of four, grandmother of six, Lesley Williams taken on the 4th August at 20,135 feet on the summit of Stok Kangri, Ladakh. http://windycroft.gt-britain.co.uk/Dsc00873.jpg Not bad! Still 'running in' my replacement hip or I'd be in it too.

Yep, there are only so many angles that can be taken of these, so they probably look like every other photo out there of the waterfalls. But here's a few shots anyway. No tripod so I had to take them handheld, at 1/4th shutter, which was...

Day 1 - August 1st 2009 - Clwydian Expedition After only half an hour's sleep, I awoke at 1:45am. It was raining. Taking inexplicably long to pack, I failed to leave until 10:15am. The day started drab. The rain had stopped but it was still overcast and uninspiring. I was unable to generate any...

....... to all the recent spam being posted. Had a great early morning 14 mile walk today from Cheesefoot Head near Winchester. Started out at 0700, heading east along the South Downs Way, then turning north for Tichborne village, just before Gander Down. Passed through Tichborne and joined...

I'm thinking of getting a bigger tent just for campsite use. This is the one I like the look of, the Vango Omega 350 (2009 version). It's almost tall enough to stand up in so a chair and small table should fit easily into the porch. It's got alloy poles and the price is a bargain compared to...

Still have not set out on my first walk.. but watched several of Wainwrights Walks on BBC does that count? Terrys -- A penny saved is ............... not much.
