@AlanChatfield Thanks for the kind words Alan. I’ve only done a few guest posts but would love to do more. I’ll shoot you an email later and we can chat about it there.

Hi Ross,I read it on pureoutside.com then wanted to leave a comment but wasn’t sure about registering and so clicked on the blog link guessing that I’d be able to find more interesting content on the blog anyway and probably comment easier – and read a couplle of posts and really liked this one.Out of interest, do you do Guest Blogging? I really like the way you write and your general style and content fits really well with the philosophy behind our site – even if you don’t guest post, I wouldn’t mind getting your feedback ( http://lifestoogood.net ) as judging from your site you clearly know what you’re doing (and I’m really a newbie!!)anyways, thanks again,in the words of the famous Arnie, ‘I’ll be back!’Alan@Ross Collicutt

Thanks for the comment Alan. I know what you mean about never regretting a hike. I feel the same way. Sometimes it feel like a lot of work just to get out there but I’m always very happy that I did even if the weather is so-so. Even the crappy days make me appreciate the relaxing inside where it’s dry and warm much more.Did you read the other article on the main site at PureOutside.com or here on the blog?
