The software seems to want to keep a certain amount of control and they don't always look exactly as I'd intended.<br /><br />Thanks for the offer of help, that was most kind.

The Rum trip was one of the best we've had in a while but too short. <br /><br />I've used Smugmug (Power account) for about five years and find it easy to use now that I can find my way around the updated version. I think you can still have a free trial of the basic account.

I'm looking for an online photo storage application and, much as I like using Apple's hardware, I get the feeling that iCloud just asks for too much personal information in return for its facilities. I just want something simple and as anonymous as it's Davehttps://ossroad.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1089596276538867573.post-26802277923197469262016-08-29T09:46:37.632+01:002016-08-29T09:46:37.632+01:00Thank you Alan.

All in all about 6000ft of ascent - more for me as I had to ascend back up a fair way in search of a lost camera.<br /><br />Go on, visit next summer.afootinthehillshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06670636358354420373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1089596276538867573.post-66735665045970603802016-08-29T08:00:21.558+01:002016-08-29T08:00:21.558+01:00Thanks Martin.

We camped as you know but the £1m bunkhouse got a great review from some Swiss people we met but with only one double room, booking in advance would be essential.<br /><br />Glad you liked the photographs - half of those we took were nearly lost with the camera!<br /><br />There are plenty of afootinthehillshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06670636358354420373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1089596276538867573.post-5563016223776832242016-08-28T15:53:44.685+01:002016-08-28T15:53:44.685+01:00How absolutely splendid!

In such fabulous weather, too!<br />I did like to the look of the one described as "an easy stroll over to..."
