It can be hard to understand the scale these things have got to - we have 600,000 human users a month, but it had reached the point where for every single genuine human browsing a page, we had 7 or 8 bots much of the time.

I'm sure they are not specifically. But I suspect any sites with popular forums get heavily targeted as the posts are a way of seeing how lots of different people speak and write. Certainly the bot signups we get have become very sophisticated and tend to post things about Scottish hillwalking.

... and also taken action to manage the impact of the bots - so hopefully you should now see the site working at its fastest once more.
We've also been out updating the first half of our Speyside Way guide, and several other routes around Moray. Keep on walking! Photo - by the Spey this morning.

- if you are in the middle of writing a report at midnight you'll it as you won't be able to submit, so please be aware.

If you have our app installed, you will still be able to access any walks & maps you have downloaded. You just won't be able to download any more walks whilst we are offline.

I'm getting dizzy now.
