CORVID-19 Hill-walking is great exercise and it is good to get out in the outside world and it is inherently safer and healthier than staying indoors. But we still lneed to take precautions whilst outside. Please do not go out walking if you are showing sisns of Corvid-19. When out walking make sure you give people space - 1m at least and preferable 2m. Remember that if it feels too crowded then walk away and try somewhere else. If you get into difficulty the MRT will come out to help you but they should not have to put themselves into danger from this virus. Take Care Out There.

for the later editions. Yes the people look really different in
their attire; but the most remarkable change is the scenery and
in particular the tree growth around the Eastern Edges. It
is worth getting a copy of this boo to just see the
changes that have occured in the last few decades.
