For those that use it, and may not be aware, but the National Park Weather

0870 0550575

Just had to update 70 pages of my website ...... phew, what a job! Serves
me right for having the number on each walk page.

In other words it's now a lot more expensive :-(

And 75757 was so simple.

However I consider the forecast well worth the extra money.

For info,

Detailed daily forecasts for hill-walkers in the lake district are
available to download free of charge from

There are also forecasts available for the east of Scotland, West of
Scotland and Snowdonia

'Mountains or Mole Hills ... summiting still
brings the same excitement'

The best site for weather forecasts (in my opinion) is metcheck.

It gives you the expected forecast for 24 hours at 3hour intervals
If you click on the dropdown (jump to) list on the top right hand of the
weather page and select "Mountain" it will give you a 24hr forecast at 3
hour intervals for all mountain areas in the UK.
Plus cloud level, freezing level and windspeed and temp at what ever heights
you select.

I have found the forecast to be quite accurate most of the time.

There is also an "actual weather" to "forecast weather" statistical page, to
check the performance of the forecasts. worth a look.

This would be a bad time to suggest using a scripting language like PHP
to include such information from a single file so you only have to make
one change, would it?

AFAIK 0870 is a National rate number and a call lasts about a couple of
minutes so it costs 10p or so from a normal landline - well worth it if it
means you're prepared for the conditions.

As can Ultraedit http://www.ultraedit.com/

Having had a trial with both I went for Ultraedit because it can
seamlessly switch between hex and text modes (not an issue for most
users) and it comes with an excellent file compare utility.

For the coders it also does some dandy tricks like highlighting the
open/close brackets when you click on the other of the pair - makes
finding errors easier.

Would recommend anybody interested in a top-notch editor to try both and
see which fits their needs best. The prices are not far apart (UE wee
bit more expensive).

Yep It's a "National Rate" dialing code. So it isn't going to cost any
more. It might be worthwile advertising that fact Sandy.

Agree - 100%

MetCheck in combination with MWIS is a winner.

[I hope MetCheck is right as after next Monday the following couple of
weeks look relatively dry and settled for Cumbria]

I use notepad2 extensively which is great at that. Small and lightweight
yet fully featured. It's what notepad should be.

Yes, so do I, especially living on the South Coast. Gives me an indication
in winter as to the snow condition on the higher fells (well. Helvellyn).
Could be the deciding factor whether to start out for a 'snowy' long-weekend
or not.

I must admit I have not looked to see if there is a 'global change' method
in FP2000.

I really ought to know more html than I do, but surely there are (supported)
ways of specifying a particular item of content on multiple pages, but with
one "source" ? Or is this the sort of problem that the dreaded frames
address ?
