Why a Website?
For years I’ve
messed about with computers. I don’t consider myself to be particularly
clever with them, particularly if they go wrong, but I am a little bit
addicted. I was once told, having completed a "what am I good at
test" or "what should be my vocation in life", on a management
development course that the ideal job for me was working in a room by
myself with a computer.
I suppose it was therefore inevitable that at some point I would want
to have a go at a website. For some time I had no idea what to put on
it and I knew I would find it difficult to try to learn to do something
without an objective for the exercise. But a gem of an idea flourished
when Peter (one of the "Boys") said to me, when I was reminiscing
about a walk we had done, "Do you remember every walk you’ve
ever done?" Then I realised that I did remember most of them that
were of significance to me, although the dates may sometimes elude me.
I had photos that friends or I had taken, plenty of maps to check detail
on, a few notes made on some excursions and so I started this website.
Then one of my sons bought me a proper website name for a Christmas present
and brilwalks.com was born.
