Welcome to Ian Barton's web site. Here you will find a collection of ramblings about mountaineering, Linux and free software, farming, cycling and the English country side, plus a few other bits and bobs.
This site has been created using Jekyll and Emacs org-mode. This makes it easy for me to write using my favourite editor Emacs while maintaining my site under version control using git .
