Something I’ve been meaning to do for a while, and never got round to; I’ve updated the Walking Routes page so that the routes are now displayed on a map, rather than the list I had previously.
As I have more time to spend walking now, I’ll be adding more routes in the near future.

Posts relating to this website.
Phil Royle Music
One of the things I want to do to keep busy during my early retirement is to make music, so I’ve created a new ‘Music’ section of the website where I will post any music that I make.
I’ve always had an interest in making Indie / Alternative music, but have recently discovered a love of electronic music as well, so I plan on making music in both of these genres.
I contemplated whether to release everything under one name, but have currently chosen to split the genres into separate projects. The first of these projects is Solitude Fallout, which will be the home for most of the electronic music that I make. When I’m ready to release music under other projects I’ll add them to the site.
This is a good way for me to exercise my creativity and learn new skills, but I’m not expecting anything out of it, so all the music will be available to listen and download for free.
New Walking Pages
A number of years ago I wanted a better way to organise the growing collection of walking and cycling routes I had, and in the process of sorting that I decided to publish them on a separate website called OpenRoutes. In an effort to simplify the organisation of things, and to save some money, I’ve now decided to close that website and have just finished importing the walking routes from there into a new section here. Behold… Walking Routes.
I’ll be working on a better way to display the list of routes (most likely via a map), and adding more detail to each page shortly, and I will hopefully be adding more routes in the future.
I’ve also added a few pages from a previous iteration of this website, which show my progress towards ‘bagging’ various hill summits in the UK – although progress has stalled on them in the last few years, since the pandemic.
