The MCofS has launched a searchable blogs page on its website; making it easier for visitors to quickly search 135 mountaineering related blogs for the name of a hill, a climb or a person.

By clicking on the Blogs icon in the bottom right hand corner of any MCofS webpage (under the "Connect with us" heading) you will be taken to the blogs page. To search on a word or a name just type it into the Google Custom Search box near the top of the page.

MCofS Membership Development Officer, Mike Dales, said: "The MCofS Blogs page is a great way of carrying out hill-related research, whether it be for planning a trip or just looking up a place name for more general interest. There are some great blogs on our Blogs page and the search facility makes it really easy to find the specific information you’re looking for amongst all these blogs.

As well as listing a wide selection of hill walking and climbing blogs, the MCofS Blogs page also contains links to a range of other blogs that may be of interest to people with an interest in walking, climbing and skiing. These are listed under various headings, such as: Clubs, Climbing Walls, Outdoor Organisations, Retailers, Outdoor Education, Tourism, Furth of Scotland, Overseas, and a few others. There is also a useful series of links to webcams dotted around Scotland.

The MCofS has also made it easier for those who wish to search these blogs for reports on snow and ice conditions in winter. A (C) symbol denotes a blog containing conditions reports.

The list of blogs on this page is never going to be complete, so if anyone wishes to write with suggestions for other blogs to include on the page, then please send an e-mail to mike@mcofs.org.uk.
