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”
