I'm still on both for now but agree. The blue 🐦 has become a toxic place.

In case anyone on this App also follow me on X this is to confirm I have deactivated my account forthwith. That's 6k followers who'll need to switch to Blue Sky to share my sense of humour and love of Britain. Elon Musk has gone too far.

The very local place names I learned from people in Grasmere, Cumbria today: * Tenters - A footpath in the village. * Flosh Lonning - also a local footpath. * Shoo-Ducks - name of a bridge over a small brook near the village centre.

There's a strong belief that the Lakeland Fells were made by a giant and in some cases he used the same mould!

My thanks to the Friends of the Beacon, Whitehaven for a festive evening talking about Cumbrian Christmas traditions. Sadly, there were no snow pancakes (yes, they are a thing!), but I did have some Cumberland gingerbread made to the recipe of late fell running legend Jos Naylor.

I spend my days walking old postal paths in Britain that were once walked by rural postmen and women. In the evening, I handwrite letters.

No, the Third Edition has a lot of additional material in it. Definitely worth getting.

So far, I only know the chapter numbers are different.I was reading something else that referred to the Hillwalking book but my chapter numbers didn't match theirs. That was the clue my edition was out of date.

Is the content the same? I know sometimes if they change printers, they can use different grades of paper. Same thing happened with the Wainwright books when they moved the printing to Asia.

I realised my copy of this book was two decades old. It put weight on between the first and third editions.

Two copies of a green book, both titled "Hillwalking". The one on the right is thicker than the one on the left.

The edge of two green books. The one on the right is about a quarter thicker than the one on the left.

Good to know. One thing's for sure, it can't be worse than Twitter

mikesmountainhikes @mountain-mike.bsky.social · 23/11/2024

Agreed. I'm careful who I follow back. I always check what stuff the tweet and retweet. Guy followed me this morning and his profile was a load of links to go and contact him on telegram to buy a variety of drugs reported and blocked.

You can change the platform but can't change the people with internet access. Block and report have always been needed on forums. I equate it with disengaging from awkward conversations with people whose views you don't share in real life.

Well, I came to Bluesky because it was supposed to be better than twitter. Been on here a week and already had to report/block someone and block someone Private messaging me. It seems to be the same as twitter, just without Musk.
