Our walks are now organised by area as "boards" on the Pinterest social bookmarking site.
If you already use Pinterest, you'll know what that means, but everyone else including my mum may be wondering "What the Falmouth Harbour is Pinterest?" shortly followed by "Oh My God! Not another social media site with a daft name!".
You might use a Pinterest board for "walks I fancy doing" or "stuff to do when it does/doesn't rain on my holiday". You can whip though our boards of walks in areas you might want to visit and "pin" any onto your board, to refer back to later.
You can also "follow" a board, which means you get notifications of things added. Every time we release a new walk, we'll add it to the board for the relevant area, so it's a way of getting notifications about walks in the areas you're interested in.

What's the point?
The basic idea is that you can organise a bunch of links and and photos (which Pinterest call "pins") on a webpage you can create (which they call a "board", stretching their analogy of an online pinboard to its limits). They have made the "pinning" process nice and easy to use so you can just click "pin it" on something you like the look of either on Pinterest itself, any websites with "pin it" buttons, or you can even add a button to your web-browser to make it to "pin" any page on the web (to install it, scroll down to the "pin it button" on the Pinterest "goodies" page).You might use a Pinterest board for "walks I fancy doing" or "stuff to do when it does/doesn't rain on my holiday".
