A blog to complement our main website Backpacking in Britain. The blog and website cover various aspects of UK backpacking mainly in mountainous and remote regions of Britain, including many route descriptions and photos, wild camping, outdoor gear, mapping and general items of interest to the walking community.

I was contacted by Leighton Harker who is the site admin for Outdoor Bloggers. Although this is not a blog, it is a great place to find other hiking and backpacking bloggers as well as join in on discussions relating to outdoor activities. Here is an official description of the forum:
"This is your space to discuss outdoor blogging with your peers. It has been created from an idea first floated by Chris Cowell In Chris’s words - “As the UK outdoors blogging scene starts to gather momentum, what with John’s UOBC2007 Roadshow and the meet at the Outdoors Show, I propose a society, a forum, a place away from our blogs, ‘comments’ areas and OM where we can chat and discuss the future of outdoor blogging and podcasting. Somewhere to talk shop. Then our blogs can concentrate on the outdoors. That’s what our readers want”
The Bearded Git is a well organized hiking and backpacking blog dedicated to the outdoor adventures of a UK hiker. Some high quality picture gallery’s are provided. If you hike in the UK, you’ll want to see what BG has been up to.

You'd probably call this a "literary walking" blog: Hiking essentially, but a bit of reading, natural history, politics, philosophy and other things thrown into the mix…
