Indeed. And with that in mind, let me give you the summary plot of how this
thread, and indeed the group, is going to develop over the next few months:
Passions rise on urw in January with the discovery of a new GPS attachment
for cameras. An outbreak of a new computer worm, called a nematode, causes
havoc when it's found to randomly add and delete munros to people's lists.
In February a new poster causes crisis when he suggests that hidden satanic
messages can be found in a popular new backpacking book, believed to be
'wear jeans when walking, you know you want to', 'heavy gear is good gear'
and 'it's all [censored]'. Owners of kettley things despair as metal fatigue sets
in and in Aberfeldy, the weather forecast isn't the only thing that's
turning up the heat. In March an older member of urw is arrested after
climbing an under-height Marilyn - 'the map told me she was a little above
the limit', he later sobs. A new bothy opens in the Cairngorms, and as the
first disturbing reports of mis-use of sleeping mats and mountain caps come
in from Anne Sochach's Lairig Ghru bothy and leisure palace development,
postings on urw drop to a new low. 'We just fancied a weekend in Scotland'
several regular posters later comment. The better spring weather sees
fashions change, with some urw posters in favour of Ronhill's new 'Anne
Sochach' range of walking fetish gear, including hotpants, stockings made
from ronhill tracksters and false beards, with others violently against -
until the pictures of one regular contributor are published, when opinions
unite - but which way?
