Wiblog - Paul's Wibblings

As you may well know we have a website called WalkLakes which is about walking in the Lake District and the main income stream from that is that we sell PDF versions of our walks and also GPX route files for use with GPSs and mapping software.  read more ...

The last 24 hours at WalkLakes have been a bit of an exciting ride. On the plus side yesterday we sold the most walks in one day ever, beating the best day last August. On the minus side we received our first payment by PayPal eCheque this morning (no, us neither) and our software sent the customer the walk as normal.  read more ...

The Hug run a list server which hosts various lists both locally and nationally because it's the sort of thing we do for ourselves, our friends, our community and for organisations we support and, if you're reading this post, you may well be a subscriber to one or more of them.  read more ...

Florence is a 2005 Trigano Tribute, a very popular model based on a long wheel base high top Fiat Ducato van, and it comes factory fitted with Webasto Air Top 2000S warm air heater.  read more ...

I've wibbled on before about WalkLakes - the site Beth and I have created about walking in the Lake District. It's going pretty well. Beth's researched a lot of walks so we have good content both for that and lots of peripheral pages too so we are getting quite a respectable about of traffic now. Which is a good thing as that's how the site is going to make us money.  read more ...

So, with the help of various people who read these posts, all our walks on the WalkLakes site now includes the option to download the walk in Adobe/PDF format.  read more ...
