From the latest The Angry Corrie cover: police mistake a mountain marathon camp for protestors

An irregular and irreverent outdoors magazine has made a reappearance after an absence of more than a year.

The Angry Corrie, which describes itself as a hillzine, has lain dormant for 20 months or so as the man behind it struggled to juggle two jobs and his role as editor of the magazine.

Dave Hewitt admits he considered putting The Angry Corrie out to grass permanently as the demands of his work on the online Caledonian Mercury and other journalistic work put the planned winter 2010 edition further and further back.

However, issue 78 is now in selected stores north of the border and also at Needle Sports in Keswick and Freetime in Carlisle, with what is in many respects a catch-up on some of the odd events that have happened since its last publication.

In the latest The Angry Corrie, Gordon Ingall describes coping with a forced hillwalking layoff due to a broken leg; Andy Hyams looks at the shock of discovering the victim of a fatal mountain accident is someone you know; and enthusiastic statistician Dave Hewitt chronicles all the first known munro-round completers to have finished on the hills north of the Great Glen.

And cartoon hero Murdo Munro tackles Jeremy Clarkson’s Isle of Man lighthouse hideout with a cannon, though only in his dreams.

Details of how to order the £1 fanzine are on the TACit Press website.
