Very sorry, but I on 7th March I activated Mynydd Troed (SW-011) but gave out the incorrect reference of the Sugar Loaf (SW-009). I misread my paperwork. Sorry to the seven chasers.
That day I also activated Waun Fach and Mynydd Llangorse, linking the three together with a circular walk from Cwm Du that gives a good long day in the hills. I have written this up under Wann Fach Summit if anybody is interested.
One question on this though. I have written this in word and cut and pasted into the text box. The paragraph breaks are shown as rather than a white space. Editing the text box to add a return only gives another . How do I force a physical separation.

This is the wrong way around; Troed is sw-009 and Sugar Loaf is sw-011

This is one of those cases where the answer is “if I was going there I wouldn’t start from here”! If your goal is to produce plain text to paste into a system like SOTAwatch, you want a plain text editor rather than a word processor.
There are plenty of them around, and even a basic one built into Windows. My personal recommendation would be Notepad++ from
Notepad++ is not a bad bit of software. We bung a copy on all of the Windows machines at work now as a matter of course. Seems to be popular with most of my developing colleagues. Another good one is jEdit. That’s written in Java so you’ll need to install a JRE but it does have the advantage that you can run jEdit on Windows and Linux machines and have a consistent editor.
Of course the real solution is to have emacs installed but that may be a bit heavyweight for non-developers
I use TextPad (evaluation copy) for the occasional editing of notes etc in Windows, although really intended as a source code editor SciTE (http://www.scintilla.org/) is another possibility.
Well done on doing SW-002 as well as SW-009 and SW-015 on your circular walk in one day, the two smaller ones (from the col) were enough for me last Saturday.
In reply to MM0FMF:
Yes, TextPad is good: I personally use UltraEdit to maintain the SOTA Mapping Project and can thoroughly recommend it, but it’s not free.
However, I recently had occasion to look at ATPad (http://atpad.sourceforge.net/), a text editor which is free for personal use and which, unlike most freebie editors around, can also display “whitespace” characters (spaces, tabs, end-of-line control characters), which can be very useful when you’re trying to edit log files or CSV/TSV files. Worth looking at…
