You might have noticed things have been a bit slow around these parts of late… That’s because, well, let’s face it, I’ve dropped the ball. I do have a very good excuse though. Bushwalking Blog HQ has relocated, and is now also home to my lady, and her two amazing wee spawnlings.
The last month, and particularly the last two weeks, have been absolutely chaotic. One thing’s for sure… Never again will I move house without taking leave from my day-job. But we’re all (slowly) settling in, and everything on Bushwalking Blog will be starting to return to normal as of now.
To make up for my recent lack of posts, I thought I’d put together a bit of a roundup of the best things I’ve tweeted to the @BushwalkingBlog Twitter stream over the last month. Not all of you will be on Twitter, and those who are probably won’t have seen everything I’ve tweeted. Keep reading for some fantastic articles, photography, and maybe even a video or three.
I won’t include any of the tweets that link back to Bushwalking Blog, of course, but I’ll start with a couple of tweets that are all about me. I wouldn’t be a blogger if I didn’t like things to be at least a little bit ‘all about me’, right?
Awesome. Even more awesome because I'm quoted in it 😛 MT @Slicktwisted Solo Backpacking Is All About Heart & Soul http://t.co/1CQqPadhA6

Sticking close to home, check out some of the blog posts from my favourite blog – aside from my own, of course – Hiking Fiasco…
