Hello (and image posting test!)
« on: 15:32:40, 13/09/19 »
Hello everyone, I have lurked here for a while but never posted before, finally got around to registering. I don't get out walking as often as I would like, as I live in London, which isn't the most convenient for getting to my preferred areas of the country. However I did manage a recent short break in the Lake District.


I actually tried to write a little trip report about my walks, but the images didn't seem to be coming out right in the preview. So testing here to see whether it works (edit: apparently it doesn't... and now it does, many thanks to WhitstableDave for spotting the problem and pointing it out!)

Welcome Briony from the heart of Devon.  There is plenty of good walking not far from London in the Chilterns and the South Downs for example.  I think the image posting problem you have is caused by the fact that images have to be linked to their source site.  To post a link you have to have a minimum number of posts (15 IIRC - I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong)

You're probably right about the images - thank you - I will try again after I've posted a few more times.


I have walked a little in the South (and North) Downs, and probably should make the effort to get out there more often. Though I am a northerner by birth, so nothing is ever going to compare to Yorkshire and the Lakes! Devon is very lovely too, of course.

Hi Briony.

The URL you used appears to be to your flickr album, rather than to a single image in it. (Nice photos!)

Oops, yes, that was exactly what I'd done. I've fixed the links and it seems to be working fine now. Thank you!  :)
