January proved a mixed bag in terms of the weather with Atlantic fronts creating some quite extreme weather with hill snow, rain and generally cloudy conditions.

December brought us some snow and fine weather, as well as some horrid wet weather.

It appears that autumn is making up for the lousy summer that we seemed to have had.  Some excellent walks with glorious autumn colour.  October saw another OFC organised walk, this time in the Peak District.  The gales seemed to be lacking this year and although gloomy with some overcast sky, the autumn colours in some areas have been gorgeous.

August was a hectic month with two organised OFC meets at Honister and Gaping Gill as well as the launch of the website on 23rd.  The weather did give us a break with sunshine for blocks of several consecutive days.  Let's hope that September offers us fresh, clear days with plenty of sun.  The occasional early morning mist hanging in the valleys would no doubt be a welcome addition too.

In recent months the main Yahoo! page has included the latest urls provided by O.F.C. members.  Since the Sister site has seen little change recently and seems seldom used I thought it appropriate to update the site just in case Yahoo! is ever unavailable.  In the light of earlier requests if you do want your website including then please email your additions to me at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it

In the meantime here are the latest offerings from the O.F.C.  I have proposed to maintain the links as an archive here and perhaps renew this page on a frequent basis.  As the Yahoo! page can only handle about a dozen urls at a time, we could maintain the links here for anyone keen to search back.
