Soapbox

Just wandered over there as I've not been on for a few years.  On the index it's not showing any new posts since October.  Is it as quiet as that over there or is it a tech issue (I notice it has a error showing at the bottom of the page : Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 50331648 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 5505069 bytes) in Unknown on line 0)

 I can see OM is a lot quieter than it used to be but an surprised that the TGO forum would be as quiet as it looks to be.

Thanks - not really after a challenge forum rather than a general UK outdoor forum.  I've toyed with the idea of the challenge over the years but think I'd rather just do my own thing.

The hills don't change much so I mostly dip into the forums (& mags) to get up to speed with the new gear when I need something as I hate shopping & am not even fond of trudging around gear shops like I used to.  If I can narrow my choices down from forum feedback it saves me that hassle.  10-30 years ago I knew about all the gear & was a bit of a gear whore but now don't have the inclination to keep up to date or 'upgrade'.  A GPS with loaded OS maps is the current thing on my query list.   I've not been as active as I used to be over the last 2-3 years but now the new season is upon us I'll be getting out more & GPS will be a good backup to my past pretty good navigation with me being a bit rusty & the PIA of now needing reading glasses.
